Cayuga Gastroenterology

I think your experience here highly depends on which practitioner you're seeing. Emily Dvorak is amazing, she's the best medical provider I've ever seen. If you have GI issues related to hypermobility, go here. She's the first person who I felt really understood what was going on with my GI system and cares about finding a solution. I've seen reviews saying the wait time is too long but at my last appointment I got there very early and was seen by Emily 10-15 minutes before my scheduled time. She is scheduling several months out but once you have an initial visit she is decent at responding to messages in the portal or via the nurses' phone line.

My colonoscopy at Cayuga Medical Center on November 18, 2025, performed by Dr. Tandy Agostini under MAC sedation (Dr. Hans Salamanca-Granados), was dangerous. I’m sharing this so other patients — especially those on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro — don’t experience what I did. What Happened: I aspirated stomach acid under sedation. I woke up coughing violently, unable to speak or swallow, with burning pain so severe it felt like my throat had been cut open. My voice was completely gone. I was drooling because I couldn’t swallow. I was terrified. What shocked me most was how little anyone seemed to care. Staff continued their routines while I lay there coughing, drooling, unable to make a sound. I tried desperately to communicate using finger spelling, but no one understood. No

Well was prescribed a medication that my insurance would not pay for Dr said they probably would so in the meantime I've run out of the medicine that I had been taking so have tried 4 attempts to get it refilled with apoltly no luck at all if I'm not talking to someone answer machine I speak to someone who's going to get right on it and call me back so going on just about 4 weeks after my appointment and 3 weeks of being out

It seems like Cayuga GI has gone downhill. Take note of the dates on the reviews. My experience with this office was terrible. They had me do the full prep then cancelled the appointment. I tried again a few weeks later and after doing 3 days of restricted diet they never sent the prep to the pharmacy. I called a week before and 3 days before and the day of. They never sent it. Finding a new doc.

I cannot be clearer, do not go here. It is nearly impossible to get an appointment less than 3-5 months out. As a current patient I couldn’t keep food down because of there medication which I couldn’t stop taking. I called and messaged 12 times. No one called me back or even relayed the info to my doctor. I lost 7 pounds in 5 days. When I asked why this wasn’t considered appropriate for an emergency visit (which they do offer) no one could give me an answer. This is not the first time or the last that they have failed to respond to a message. They have failed every single time. They are understaffed and they are medically negligent. If you have any other option, don’t go here.
