Patient Reviews
Jan 07, 2025
Dr. Clift is great. Getting an appointment is not easy. I’ve been trying since 8/28/24. Calling every month, leaving a message and haven’t heard back from Albany Gastroenterology Consultants. Not happy! Very disappointed. I don’t expect anything to change as they are trying to saving $$.
