    Provider clearly prepared for this visit as he checked all recent related procedures,Evidently a CT scan ordered for an unrelated illness not related to GI Issues did showed I was much healthier for the serious illness he hadpreviously diagnosed.With the new CT scan information he told me I did not need the very expensive medication he had prescribed me for about a year. I was glad for that. But then he complained that these scans were overused in the medical world generally. I said nothing. Nevertheless, that unexpected information with that scan, if it had been done earlier, would have saved me over $1000 in drug costs plus especially the emotional stress of a diagnosis of a near failing gastrointestinal organ. I am sure this provider followed protocols but those protocols were inadequate and did me some harm.

    Clinician just recommending endoscopy and tried to sell colonoscopy at the same time. I was asking for noninvasive option and he essentially said any care options would require endoscopy first.

  • About Erik Snider, MD

    My practice covers general gastroenterology, treating liver, esophageal, stomach, and small and large intestinal conditions. I also perform endoscopic procedures including upper endoscopy and colonoscopy. I have a specific interest in treating inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. My inspiration to go into medicine came from my scientific research experience and realizing I wanted to apply my curiosity to benefit peoples' health.

    Philosophy of care

    I strive to collaborate and build trust with my patients while incorporating the most up-to-date medical knowledge and techniques to provide the best care possible.
