Dr. Jeffrey Steven Aronoff, MD

Beware! Doctor gets touchy if you go get second opinions. Wonder why?! Leaves you high and dry post op and refuses to see patients who go get second opinions of the treatment plans he suggests. Possibly can be sued for this. Visit at your own risk and without ever consulting doctors at other hospitals once you start treatment with him. Extremely unprofessional and quick to make a buck. Imagine being harrased post op for care as a patient when you are already sick! Abs ridiculous. Never seen this before and have been treated by all the top hospitals in NYC. Stay away!!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Aronoff for over twenty years and he is among the best of the most professional, caring physicians in the New York metropolitan area. His staff is highly competent also.

I had a wonderful experience from beginning to now. Dr Aronoff has been informative, professional , kind with a great bedside manner. My surgery went amazingly well and his care was impeccable, my family was very impressed with his care. A truly caring physician. Thank you.

Dr. Aronoff is a great doctor and a wonderful person. He goes beyond the call of duty in his care and compassion. He came highly recommended to me and has my highest recommendation as well. Esther F.

Doctor Aronoff and staff are excellent , Very professional and honest I will recommend to family and friends he is one doctor you can trust .

I called two times and had the front desk clerk confirm that they take my insurance because the website said otherwise. I made her repeat back to me each time confirming that they do indeed take my insurance. I took time off work and $40 in cab rides later only to wait in the waiting room for 20 min passed my appointment time to be told that they don't take Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield EPO and that whoever told me that they did, didn't know what they were talking about. Completely livid with their incompetence and lack of empathy in wasted time.

He is an attentive, caring Doctor who is excellent at what he does. I've been a patient since 2011 and celebrating Seven years of being Colon Cancer Free

Worst experience ever! I could had serious consequences from his post surgery care. After developing a anal abscess and undergo into surgery with him, he neglected to give me antibiotics and keep squeezing pus from an open fistula. Thank god I went to another doctor for a second opinion. I had two more surgeries and a complete different experience. I don’t recommend this doctor to anyone one.

Dr. Aronoff is an excellent physician . He is kind , understanding and compassionate. He always takes time to sit you at his desk and answers all your questions. He does NOT make you feel embarrassed about ANYTHING .He makes me feel ver comfortable. His front desk staff is very courteous , and a pleasure to talk to

Professional, friendly, competent doctor. Unfriendly, arrogant staff. Nice medical visit, easy prep, easy procedure. Nasty staff. Sneer at you as if you’re interrupting their day. Ask a question and they will bite your head off. Sent my prescription to wrong pharmacy. When I called, I was told to take care of it myself and was then hung up on. If you can visit the doctor outside of his East 57 St office, do it. If you want to be treated like a petulant child, visit him there. And I thought the procedure would be the worst part. Silly me.

Dr. Aronoff was the first and only surgeon I met with after my GI doc referred him to me. He guided me through my colorectal cancer journey this last year and performed both of my surgeries (low anterior resection and ileostomy takedown). He and his staff are warm, caring, and professional. There were times when I would show up last minute and Dr. Aronoff would see me and not even charge a co-pay. I cannot recommend him highly enough. His sense of humor helps too.

I cannot praise him highly enough. A procedure that only he does saved me from a second surgery after a botched first one. Truly terrific doc, surgeon, and human being.

I could not have found a better doctor for my colon surgery. Dr. Aranoff did his best to make sure and do everything possible for me to continue with a normal life after surgery. Because the surgery was so close to the Holidays and it was successful my children and I called him Dr. Santa Clause :).

Dr. Aronoff is an exceptional doctor. He has always put me at ease. I have been going to him for colonoscopies for the past 6 years as I am high risk. He has always listened attentively and answers questions with precision, honesty and facts. He is extremely easy to talk to, open to new ideas and is warm and friendly. He has always given me a lot of his time to listen to my concerns unlike many other doctors today. I feel fortunate to have him as a doctor.

I must say that Dr Jeffrey Aronoff is the best of the best. No one enjoys getting a colonsocopy but Dr Aronoff makes it as comfortable and easy as possible. ANd the prep he uses is Not that bad.

Okay I must of visited another facility because these negative reviews don't reflect my experience at all. On the contrary, we were treated with the uttermost respect and the staff did everything to accommodate my mother. The office manager was super understanding and she filled out ALL the disability forms for my mom and she followed up with me whenever I had a question. But even if they seemed 'rude' to some, does that really matter since the person who is eventually seeing you is the doctor? Dr. Aronoff was the best thing that happened to my family. He was super professional and empathized with us - he performed the surgery and my mom is a new person today. He saved her from the constant pain and I thank God for him. We went to countless of 'top' doctors in the City and everyone seemed so cold and detached from reality as if we were speaking with robots. Dr. Aronoff was very friendly and made us feel that we were in good hands. Please don't let the negative reviews form your opinion before even trying this place. I almost did not go myself after reading them but I took a chance and I am so very thankful I did. Nothing compares to seeing my mom happy again :)

AVOID! His staff is so Rude I do not know where to begin- And Incompetent

He did a great job, it was quick and easy, and no more pain!!

I saw this Dr. once. This Dr. was so cavalier and got my patient information wrong on the form I filled out. He was completely insensitive, impersonal, didn't ask any questions, didn't take any time. He did a 15 minute exam and gave his quick opinion. For this his charged my insurance for an expensive visit and for 'surgery'. When I formally requested a copy of the record of the visit, twice, and phoned, I got nothing, no response at all.

My initial reaction to this establishment was relatively positive even if my rear was on the table (literally). The wait time put the time I spent with Dr. Aronoff to shame (e.g. the wait was long and the receptionists had more personality), but who wants a proctologist poking around and jabbering for too long? Not me. Regardless, I do like to feel like I'm the center of the doctor's attention and that I am being well cared for. I felt neither at this office. Worse yet? My 5-ish minute interaction with this in-network doctor inevitably cost me ~$350 WITH my comprehensive insurance. GAG, right? Turns out it all comes down to billing codes. Even though I had the EXACT same tests fully covered elsewhere by another in-network provider, this specific office used billing codes that were denied by my insurance. I called this doctor's office for assistance and was offered misinformation and confusion over a period of many months. Not only that, I had to continually provide the same information again and again (even information I previously faxed). I was also repetitively told the doctor knew about my issue and "was working on it," which translated into my receiving a two-sentence "letter of necessity" some 7 MONTHS AFTER MY APPOINTMENT. Given the lack of effort and attention, it probably comes as no surprise that my insurance appeal was denied. Dr. Aronoff was paid almost 8 months ago now and obviously cared more about the cash than me. He never took the time to contact me or even to speak with me after my appointment when I called numerous times seeking help with my billing challenges. At very least, you'd think that this office would make note of my insurance, of which they are an in-network provider, and make sure that my preventative tests were submitted with and covered by appropriate codes. No such luck. BOTTOM LINE: AVOID. The patient comes last in this "slam, bam, thank you for your cash Sam (or mam!)" business. This doctor is an in-network AETNA provider, but you'd never know it. If you want caring, professional service look elsewhere.
