Reviews
I recently had a EGD at Dr. Catinis' Kingman St. office. The whole experience was as good as could be expected. From the check-in process to the procedure itself, and then recovery, everything was professionally done by really nice, pleasant folks. I was pretty worried about getting a scope being put down my throat, but I don't remember any of it. I highly recommend Dr. Catinis and his wonderful staff.
Environment very calm. Dr. Catinis and the whole staff made me feel comfortable. My questions were answered and I was given information and choices. All of this was very important to me in my decision making.
I went for my 3 year appointment to schedule my colonoscopy. I have to go for 3 years because my mom passed from Colon cancer and it is hereditary. Dr. Catinis is a very experienced and people oriented doctor. He has been my physician for 20 years.
I have a team of doctors but Dr. Catinis visits are informative negative or positive informative is what I appreciate.
Dr. Catinis has been my doctor for over 5 years. He explains things well and takes the time to listen to me and answer any questions I have. Always timely for the appointment times that are set. He is a great doctor and in all my experiences with him I just could not ask for more.
