List of Philip J. Elbaum's Reviews
Elbaum is by far the worst physician I have ever been to. He did not take anything I had to say seriously and definitely didn’t take my very unusual symptoms and complaints of pain seriously. He missed a very bad condition that I had. I would never recommend anyone to go see him. It’s unfortunate this practice is the only one around the Wyomissing/Reading area.
I went to Dr Elbaum looking for answers and help. Instead he was rude, arrogant, didn’t listen to anything I said, and not only DIDNT help me but actually made my issues worse. He is grossly incompetent and I would never recommend anyone to see him.
Making nasty experiences fairly pleasant is their daily deed!
I am trying to get in touch with Dr. Elbaum after having had a colonoscopy on 10/1st. but I can't get through on the phone. I am now at Berks Heim as a resident since 10/9th. I am still having some digestive issues with mostly diarrhea.
Dr. Elbaum epitomizes what you want in in a specialist clinician. Current in training, generous with his empathy and receptivity to patient concerns. Highly communicative. Meets you where you are. And, being a highly cynical patient, he surprised and impressed me as immenently trustworthy, dedicated and accesible. Also, can't say enough about those in his practice groups, from intake and admin to procedural assistants and colleagues.
Would not recommend in any way. Did my not my wife’s complaints of severe pain seriously. After finally doing a colonoscopy, he missed IIB nearly IIIB squamous cell carcinoma. Luckily, we saw a surgeon who made the diagnosis that most likely saved her life.
I would deifintely recommend Dr Elbaun and his team. They were up front, clear about the procedure and steps, professional, and most importantly, they were caring.
Dr. Elbaum is absolutely fantastic. He's generous with his time (but he doesn't keep you waiting and is usually right on time), thorough, and thoughtful. Answered all my questions and made me comfortable. He's an all around excellent doctor who really goes the extra mile. Also, all the other staff I encountered were wonderful. I highly recommend Digestive Diseases and specifically Dr. Elbaum!

Selection Criteria
All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
