      First, I have the middleman to go through all my records and he then talks to Dr. Obias and reports. Then Dr. Obias comes in and not so friendly and proceeds to tell me that he is a SURGEON and mostly cancer. Like 3 times he tells me this.So, I say well I was referred to you by the gastroenterologist because I have a distended stomach and your specialty is colorectal and we are trying to solve the issue.It took a while to get to the other end of this conversation.

      I've been going to Dr. Obias for 9 years now (including his previous employer). He has been outstanding in my care beginning with a very successful robotic operation and a follow-up hernia operation. I would highly recommend him to anyone who would need a Colorectal doctor. I will continue to see Dr. Obias for any and all gastro issues that I might have in the future.
