Gregory Machiko's Online Review Report Card

I had to go to the emergency room at Canonsburg Hosp in January 2022 with a GI bleed and had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done by Dr. Machiko. Unfortunately, his is the only practice which goes to Canonsburg Hosp. He was arrogant, refused to answer my questions before the procedures and I never saw him afterwards. The nurse in the recovery room had to deliver the findings to me. Prior to the procedures, I was asked to give my husband’s cell phone number and was told that Dr. Machiko would definitely call my husband after the procedures to notify him of the findings, and he never got a phone call. I am following up with a wonderful gastroenterologist named Dr. Jenny Totten at Southwest Gastroenterology Associates. I am not a person who normally posts reviews, good or bad, but I just had to add my opinion to these other bad reviews. For the person who gave him five stars, I am guessing either he caught Dr. Machiko on a good day or is a friend/family member.

Never go to this doctor he missed diagnosed me several times and has ABSOLUTELY no compassion for his patients whatsoever, in fact at my upper endoscopy I was told after in recovery “he was too busy to come talk with me to tell me results” and the nurse did for him. Any time I’ve gotten any testing done I’ve had to call numerous times before getting a call back with results. And if you think he is Uncompassionate and rude you should meet his nurse she is a real gem to say the least!! Trust me stay FAR FAR away from this doctor you will be glad. After a now month of wasted time I finally have a new doctor who is much more caring and knowledgeable If you want a doctor who is rude and will judge you from the very first meeting then be my guest and he will be the perfect doctor for you! One star is way to many for him.

I believe the negative critisisms here come from one disgruntled competitor who was put out of business by Dr. Mucho (as we like to call him). Dr. Machiko has been my carying physithian for many years. He is wonderful. Carying, prompt, knowledgeable. Punctual, did I mention handsome? As a single Woman, I am thoroughly satisfied.

An excellent specialist who truly cares. A very responsive, on-top-of-scheduling-and-billing staff. Overall - a very positive experience.

no. If I could leave no stars I would. Very condescending and cavalier attitude.

Very rude and cavalier. Had a video visit with him and he rudely stated that he did not like to deal with a patient that had talked to so many different doctors. That is not our fault, they were given to me. During the visit he felt it necessary to comment on my dirty I pad screen. Go somewhere else. Also apparently he comes in to his office whenever he feels like it, routinely late. I did find the staff to be helpful and friendly, it is not their fault.

Dr. Machiko performed an emergency endo for me but he seemed agitated to be there, like somehow treating a patient was an inconvenience for him. Then, I had the displeasure of speaking with someone from the office, because I was having trouble getting a prescription refilled, that he wrote for me. The office personnel basically told me it wasn't their problem and that I would have to see my regular doctor to have the prescription re-written. If you have a choice, stay away from Dr. Machiko

I called Dr M. in distress during the week via his answering service. When Dr. M. announced that he was on the phone, "Dr. Machiko!" I said, "Good evening doctor, how are you?" He responded with, "I'm busy, what do you want?" After seeing and trusting him for going on twenty-five (25) years, I held in what I wanted to say in response as I KNOW THIS MAN AND HIS WAY. I contained myself and told him what was up and was abruptly told that, "We're NOT doing any elective scopes!" I told him the CT SCAN shows that I have an impaction and "I KNOW THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!" His response was, "Call my office in three (3) days! To that I say, "WOW man? You're a pompous a** and you've seen my a** for the last time!" Who in God's name needs a doctor like that? If you hate your job THAT much, change your career already.

This doctor saved my life when he discovered a serious condition during a routine exam. He immediately called in a surgeon and we got the issue resolved. That was 15 years ago! He is still taking care of my digestive health with routine exams and follow up visits. I went to two other gastro doctors before visiting Dr. Machiko and they were clueless! Dr. Machiko is a fine medical professional with a wealth of experience!

I have been a patient of his for over 10 years. He saved my life. He is very knowledgeable. He has always taken time to listen and has always included me in decisions regarding my treatment. He is kind and has a sense of humor. He did have some rude staff in his office but that changed. I have recommended him to numerous friends and others. They were all pleased. I would not go to anyone else
