Learn MoreAll of the staff, professional and administrative, were friendly and knowledgeable, making my visit a good experience. Hard not to be apprehensive before your appointment, but once inside, you are made to feel safe and secure and everything is explained to you and all your questions are answered before procedure starts.
Good experience. Very efficient, had a 7:40am appt and was walking out door at 9:15a. Warmed blankets are nice. As usual, I was asleep the entire time. Except for prep day that precedes the procedure, it was excellent and well worth the effort given the current rise of bowel cancer cases.
Wonderful, thorough thoughtful care. A very reassuring experience. The doctor and nurses are exceptionally responsive and informative.

I got my first colonoscopy done at this facility recently. The doctor and staff were very friendly and helpful. They provided me with pre and post procedure instructions in a timely manner. One thing I wanted to mention is that according to the instruction we have to to drink 64 fluid oz both the day before and on the day of procedure, but for some people like myself who are unable to drink that much fluid all at once we can take it in intervals. I drank 8oz every 10 to 15 minutes. That's a lot easier for me. Your colon will still get cleansed completely as long as you don't eat any solid food the day before and on the day of procedure.
