I couldn’t have been happier with the service. I was taken back to do my colonoscopy 1/2 hour after arriving at the center. It took about 1/2 hour more to see the doctor, anesthesia, and the nurse. Once taken into the procedure room I was quickly put to sleep. The next thing I knew the nurse was helping me get dressed and then out to my car to have my mother drive me home. I would be happy to go there again to have an outpatient procedure done. Great service!

So here we are again!! Had an issue with the front desk check in person about how my insurance was not approved.. however it was approved and I showed them that I had spoken with 5 different people . she was very rude and not the time to be discussing payment at 6:45 in the morning day of procedure , and not having anything to eat for a day plus it was early morning.. very unprofessional.. here it is 5 months later I get a bill from them called them and was told that my doctor coded it wrong to call my doctor I’ve spent at least 2 hours of my time trying to get this coded correctly so they get paid .. at this point I will never ever use this facility again. they have been nothing but a hassle , and the front desk lady rude .. I was told that the front desk lady has been let go , however this new issue with billing is a bigger issue than she was .. it’s a simple code .. how many people just pay the bills not realizing that it was a incompetent coder , a misinformed person that put this in the system.. did the same person code this that was so rude at checkin? Was it intentional? Check your bills make sure you owe the money before you pay anything.. these people will send you to 15 different people and swear you owe the money, when I’ve been in touch with the insurance company and know different.. that it is payable if 💯 what a waste of my time and a hassle. Go somewhere else . Your doctor has other facilities to use .. this is not the only one available to you, makes me wonder how many people have been over charged.. my name is Beth Rousch You have my phone # in your system if you would like to resolve this issue. I really don’t care if you ever get paid .. I’m done wasting my time , I don’t work for you ..
