Learn MoreThe endoscopy center in St George is top notch. My recent experience having a colonoscopy went extremely well. The communication from making the appointment to getting calls afterwards was truly an example of excellent healthcare which can be hard to find in our changing times. I was a cash pay patient and they made it extremely easy for me to find out exactly how much I would be paying. I had done some reasearch as these procedures can be over 10,000$ and many places wont give you exact amounts. St. GEORGE Endoscopy Center was the best quote I found and I am greatful for their reasonable price.The actual visit was very comfortable and quick. Everyone I encountered from the front desk attendant to the post operative RN made me feel welcome and comfortable. Special thanks to Rn's Vince, Jennifer and Ricky who were all part of my team. I had an RN circulator in the actual procedure who I cannot remember her name as the minute I met her Ricky was sending me off to sleepland! I want to thank all of them for taking such excellent care of me! Dr. Bown had the most excellent bedside manner and explained everything to me before and after the procedure. He personally met me in the recovery area and told me what he found and gave me a full report with pictures. I only have to wait for my pathology report to get a definitive diagnosis. I highly recommend this excellent establishment for all of your endoscopic needs. I will be returning when it comes time for my next screening. Shannon
