I can't say enough good things about the staff at this Center. From entry to exit everyone is very friendly and caring. Nursing staff, nurse anesthetist, and Dr. Pastorini all make sure there are no issues before starting procedure.

Let’s face it… NOBODY wants to get a colonoscopy, but this office and its entire staff made an unpleasant experience as positive as possible. The front check-in was seamless and quick, if you print out your paperwork and complete it in advance. Arlene took me back promptly and Sandra was the RN that stayed with me during the procedure. I felt very safe, well informed, and comfortable throughout the entire procedure, which was complete in about 30 minutes. Dr. Pastorini was professional, friendly, and thorough- I appreciated her not leaving me waiting for a long time to discuss the findings, which can be very unnerving. I live about an hour and a half away, but will return back every time I need to have this procedure, and genuinely hope I have this same exact staff to put my mind at ease. Thank you for the prayers (Sandy), compassion, and exceptional care.

You're Not Too Young: Why Colon Cancer Screening Matters
Colorectal cancer is increasingly affecting adults under 50, making it a growing concern among younger populations.
Exceptional staff... from reception to discharge, patients are cared for like family. The nurses are attentive, comforting, and professional. The doctors are skilled, compassionate, and great listeners. My son and I recently had procedures with Dr. Stoner, who's terrific. The receptionist for Dr. Stoner, Johanna, deeply cares about her patients and is devoted to getting appointments asap. This is a well-respected practice. A few of us patients were discussing our doctors while waiting, and clearly each feels blessed to be cared for at this clinic.
