Richard Geisman's Online Review Report Card

Dr Geisman thankfully was on call at Barnes ER 1998 and prescribed Prevacid for my excruciating ongoing digestive pain . He understood how chemotherapy may have have caused my pain. This 1998 visit with Dr Geisman was a quality of life changing experience. Later testing revealed an ulcer and polyps. My radiologist insisted the radiation did not cause my pain and that was that. So ever since 1998 not only have I continued to receive professional care for colonoscopies and other procedures but my son and husband also see Dr Geisman. We will continue all to have Dr Geisman help with our future gastrointestinal tests and care.

Been seeing him for 8 months, had not help me with my issues at all. Hasn’t really offered an opinion on inflammation in my chest. Spends about 5 minutes with me each visit. Would not recommend him at all.

Poor customer service. The people answering the phone are very rude and lack common manners.

The best gastroenterologist my husband, my son or I have ever been to. This office makes difficult times easier, even the year I showed up prepped and ready for my colonoscopy, and found out I was a day early and would have to wait another 24 hours to eat, because I didn't want to re-prep. Really professional, really nice people.

Dr. Geisman has a bad bed side manner. He rushes you through appointments and doesn’t seem to care if you are hurting or uncomfortable. He doesn’t want to listen to how you feel.

Bad bedside manner

Absolutely the best care!

Dr Geisman is an excellent doctor. Very thorough and I feel he genuinely cares about his patients and their comfort. I have the utmost confidence in him.

Took excellent care of Mom & then at about the age of 55 I started seeing him. I’m now 72 & he is by far my favorite Doc! Always professional, attentive & very easy to talk to! I also believe his staff of medical people are equally available & knowledgeable. He is also board certified in internal medicine, which I think is an extra knowledge plus. I would recommend no other gastroenterologist!

The officer managers name is Cindy Burke. She literally laughed at me and had other employees laughing when I explained that my primary doctor wanted me to be seen due to a medical emergency. She admitted to laughing and I asked her why was she laughing while Im experiencing an emergency. After calling so many times I was able to eventually speak with Dr Geismann. I explained that my sister had recently died from stomach cancer and Im experiencing some serious issues that my primary doctor is concerned about. I also explained how his office manager had laughed at me when I explained that Im bleeding and she couldnt give me an answer and she remained silently while Im livid at this point. He applogized for what he claims was MY OPINION. I told him it was a fact, not my opinion. Anyway the secretary said the next appt wasn't until June 7th whereas the nurse came to the phone to blatantly lie and say that there isn't an appt until the end of June. They wanted to try and do damage control by giving me a next day appt after humiliating me and laughing at my emergency. Her attitude was nasty and she wasn't aware that her secretary had just explained that there was a June 7th opening in which that made me livid. They are liars and very rude. Im calling the medical board because Barnes Hosptial has gone down over the course of the years and the level of care is mediocre. They are very unprofessional and they actually emulate the doctor because I've never cared for his unprofessionalism and lack of concern. There are so many doctors so please don't waste your time with this doctor. Don't play with your health, especially your gastro system and choose another doctor.
