Learn MoreThey made sure that I was prepared ahead of time with detailed instructions and gave me reminder calls along with asking if I was clear about the details. My appointments have been on time and if I’m there early they’ve brought me in. Karen is awesome at putting in the IV and is very friendly and put me at ease.
Not sure how to leave a review for a colonoscopy, but it was as good an experience as I think one can have. Staff was super friendly, very informative, and made sure I was comfortable. Price was half of what it would have cost me at another office. Thank you.
