UPDATE:
4 weeks after seeing Dr. Brian P. Wolfman with a specific concern about a gallbladder issue, my symptoms have been steadily worsening and I was finally able to see a surgeon for a consultation and I DO NEED MY GALLBLADDER REMOVED. Dr. Wolfman gave me a rude and dismissive 7 minute appointment where he denied my issue (incompetently) and talked down to me throughout. He also refused to discuss my other long standing G.I. issues (need for a colonoscopy, colon cancer history with my grandmother, etc).
Dr. Wolfman was not only completely incompetent and abundantly rude during his SHORT UNDER 10 minute appointment, but he missed a major health issue that I had specifically asked him about. He made no effort to do any kind of physical examination.
He talked down to me, he was rude. He said, "I treat patients, not ultrasounds" when I asked about the sludge condition shown on the ultrasound. He's right... he does treat patients... terribly. He treats them HORRIBLY. See my original review below for anecdotal information.
I need surgery now for the issue HE MISSED AND WAS DISMISSIVE ABOUT -- I'm lucky I decided to go to a surgeon and that my general doctor had given me a referral because Dr. Wolfman certainly did not!
This was not my only negative experience at Coastal Gastroenterology Associates.
I had previously seen Dr. Jain, who COULDN'T EVEN FIND A HERNIA (which was previously already diagnosed) and which required surgery only weeks later. He also only gave me 10 minutes only and REFUSED to discuss any of my long term G.I. issues until he could do a colonoscopy... which he WANTED TO DO WHILE I STILL WAS SUFFERING FROM MY SERIOUS HERNIA and I had to cancel due to the hernia surgery.
The third issue with this place is the office manager. If you have any issue with a doctor or appointment, you can be sure that the office manager will BLAME YOU and then REFUSE TO REPOND TO ANY FURTHER EMAILS TO THE OFFICE. After reaching out with my concerns, she left me a voicemail (only because she saw a negative facebook review) and said I was misunderstood. I very kindly and professionally requested information, directed to her, from the office in regard to the the Hackensack Meridian Health network about where I can send feedback and/or file a complaint with the doctor. I sent a friendly follow up as well. After 4 weeks, she has yet to provide me this information or even respond.
If you value your health, DO NOT VISIT THIS PRACTICE. If you want to see an incompetent gastroenterologist, be talked down to, not be believed, and be spoken to rudely, by all means see Dr. Wolfman. If you want to have confidence in your visit and the doctor's recommendations, and not end up in surgery 4 weeks later because they missed a major issue (as happened to me twice), DO NOT VISIT COASTAL GASTOENTEROLOGISTS.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this practice like the plague. Coastal Gastroenterologists does not deserve to be under the Hackensack Meridian Health name. It also doesn't matter which location you go to... I visited two separate ones and this kind of incompetency and rudeness is abundant throughout the whole practice and even extends to the office manager.

Dr. Wolfman refused to discuss an ulcer which I had been diagnosed with over two years ago and treated with an NSAID pain reliever alternative, and still suffer pain from. I began to give this information and say that I may now have a second one. He simply told me how they diagnose ulcers with a scope and moved the discussion onward in order to be out of the appointment within 10 minutes, he didn't ask ONE question about the ulcer or even begin to discuss it with me. I highly, highly recommend you find a different gastroenterologist if you are considering Dr. Wolfman.
