Very friendly and efficient. I've been here twice and have an excellent experience each time. This is not something I would expect for these types of procedures, but this center does an excellent job at what they do and it is very friendly, comfortable, and not intimidating to the patient. The check-in process is smooth and efficient. I like that the nurse calling you from the waiting room stays with you the entire time of your procedure. The prep process is efficient and all the nurses are extremely efficient, friendly, and helpful. They make you feel comfortable in an very uncomfortable situation. Once prep'd, the doctor and anesthesiologist see you to discuss what they plan to do and answer any questions, then you are pretty quickly moved to the procedure. The post op process is friendly and un-rushed while you wake up. It shows how much they care that team that was with you during your procedure signs a card that is in your paperwork. Highly recommend.
A really seamless experience. The staff was nice and thorough. Thank you!
Very nice staff! All professional and accommodating. Check-in process was smooth and easy. Procedure was quick and check out was just as quick. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing endoscopy procedure.
Very professional! A well organized efficient staff. Treated
When it comes to colon cancer, there are many factors that you cannot control. It’s impossible to eliminate risk factors such as age, race and ethnicity, family history, health conditions and genetic syndromes.
Delays in diagnosis and treatment of cancer during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in worse outcomes for some patients, according to recently published data.
A new study published in Gastroenterology suggests increased levels of vitamin D could help prevent colon cancer in adults under 50.
Everything for the endoscopy went well and very quickly. Highly recommended.
