Straub Benioff Gastroenterology

The GI department has got to be the worst on the island. After having a EGD and colonoscopy, I had severe bloating that kept getting worse every week. All I was prescribed were medications that didn’t work. They do not take your health seriously. Also, it’s nearly impossible to contact any of the doctors. When you leave a call back number, they may or may not call you back. I ended up finding another GI specialist in the private sector that works out of Kuakini. If you have major GI issues, I would recommend either Queens or a private firm.

They gave me the run around with new requests every time I called for 3 months. The last time they told me they don't "like" to see patients who don't have previous records that they can review. As in they won't take new patients with new issues? I have decided to go elsewhere as I don't trust them with my care.

Radiology department receptionist Elijah, very rude and making fun of patients today, rolling his eyes laughing at patients turning to his co workers and pointing and laughing. Ppl are already sick. And not feeling well. We need more ppl who are compassionate, and want to help ppl. Elijah in radiology is a poor example. I don’t care if he has the credentials but with his attitude and sarcastic remarks is a bad employee. Hph u need to start hiring ppl who truly has a compassion to making a difference helping ppl etc not just look at what education or experience they have. Look deeper.
Elijah your a poor example to represent Straub medical center n hph. Very very very bad employee!
