I found the staff to be caring, conscientious and professional. The process is well thought out, and thoroughly documented in easy to understand language. Everyone was engaged and caring. I was an RN for 25 years and have seldom come across such a great team. Highly recommended for safe endoscopy.
Chattanooga Endoscopy Center is an excellent facility where I have had several procedures. Everyone there goes above and beyond to make me comfortable, to explain procedures and results, and to care for me before, during, and after each visit. I highly recommend their services and care.
Chattanooga endoscopy is so friendly and efficient. You only see the doctor's briefly so it is the nurses that make your experience so great. Behind every good doctor is a great nurse!
Glad that I went to doctor for stomach and digestive problem! Found out I had some plops in colon and a small hernia.Plus that I have colitis which has caused my stomach pain! Dr Hetzel was excellent and the staff there did a great job! I would highly recommend Chattanooga Endoscopy! Don't put off seeing a doctor if you have any issues!
Many hospitals and healthcare facilities are delaying elective surgeries and procedures, but it’s important to remember that colonoscopy screenings are essential for good health.
Why is colonoscopy known as the gold standard for colon cancer prevention? It is because colonoscopy can detect and prevent colon cancer in a single test.
If you’ve been avoiding a colonoscopy, don’t put it off any longer. Colonoscopy is much faster, safer, and more affordable than you might think. It’s essential to prioritize your health and schedule this life-saving procedure.
This group worked from beginning to end to insure an easy endoscopy with care and comfort. From insurance to recovery they strive to satisfy your needs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them first and foremost.
