Learn MoreI had a procedure done at the Endoscopy Center of Ocala. The entire staff is wonderful and attentive and helpful. They are with you from the time you walk in the door until you are released. Dr Olejeme is friendly and explains the procedure and afterwards, he sits with you and addresses the outcome of procedure and answers any questions you may have. I love that my procedure involved being put to sleep. I’ve had it done at Cooperstown Bassett before and was awake the whole time. I will definitely both recommend the Endoscopy Center of Ocala and also use them again if needed.
Had a procedure done today, from the front desk to the Pacu nurses everybody was just amazing. Dr. Pastorini is great and the staff as well!
I had to have endoscopy done for the first time this past Monday, and it was also going to be my first time under anesthesia in over 40 years so I was pretty uneasy. Everyone here goes out of their way to make these kind of procedures far less stressful for the patients, starting with the very nice women at the check-in counter. It was a piece of cake. Not good at remembering everyone's names, but my nurse (Amy?) was great at calming me down (my blood pressure gave me away!) There was also a steady cycle of patients in for colonoscopy, and everyone seemed calm and happy. Thank you Dr. Christhine, I could not tell that anything was in my stomach at all!
I had to have a couple of procedures done and was very nervous. I am a trauma survivor and have been through a lot the past few months so needless to say, I almost canceled! I am glad that I didn't. The front desk was great, even though I questioned their practice of asking what you were scheduled for, personal and yet they were good with me. I got to the procedure area, and everyone was great! Mind you they don't know me or my history, but they were great! Robert the anesthesiologist was really awesome and helped me to feel relaxed (had the best nap ever) and Doctor Tom Brown was awesome! Everyone was Awesome! I would highly recommend them to anyone I know. Thank you for your kindness!

Amazing experience! From scheduling to recovery, everyone I encountered were knowledgeable, friendly and accomodating; best of all, the procedure started on time, I was home in under 2 hours. Dr Brown is awesome!! Compared to a horrific first experience with a different doctor, different place, today's visit should should be everyone's initial experience. I can't give higher than 5 rating but Me & my family are grateful and very satisfied.
