Learn MoreGood 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.
Process was very efficient with excellent communication. Only issue was an hour delay in performing procedure.
