My experience could not have gone better. I am 100% impressed with the efficiency, kindness, care, compassion and medical knowledge with which I was treated. Dr. Brown, anesthesiologist Robert, every nurse and the front desk deserve thanks and gratitude for how I was treated start to finish. Bless all of you!

If I could give no stars I absolutely would, I’ve had an endoscopy done before not at this facility and I can tell you they did not make me get up the minute I woke up , did not make me walk to get dressed as soon as I woke up, did not make me go sit in another room with others to wait for the dr. I will not come here again and most definitely won’t recommend to anyone.

I don't normally leave reviews but these ladies deserve the recognition. Everyone I encountered from the front desk, to billing, to all the nurses where TOP NOTCH. This place is very busy but they run it like a well oiled machine. They have every detail down to a science. Everyone was so kind and polite and informative which is so helpful during things like this when most people are understandably nervous. They did a womderful job.

Accurate Diagnosis Important for Hemorrhoids and Colon Cancer
Since hemorrhoids and colon cancer may have similar symptoms, it’s important to know the facts about each condition and to get an accurate diagnosis from a physician.
Had a wonderful (as wonderful as a colonoscopy screening can get) experience. From the check-in staff, to the OR, to the anesthesia (ahhhh...the relaxing Versed), to recovery, and post-op/recovery, all was smooth and easier than expected. A special shout-out to wonderful nurses Lisa, Kathy, Dr. Rumalla. I appreciate their kindness and professionalism. See you again in five years!
