I was very pleased with this place. First time getting a colonoscopy. Very attentive nurses. I felt very comfortable and they made sure my questions were answered. Even in the "operating" room, the anesthesiologist was very calming and the doctor, although I saw him only a couple of minutes before the procedure, was very nice. He came out again once I was awake to answer any questions and explained what they found.
