Learn MoreVery impressed with the entire staff's rigor and attention to detail. Everyone had a clearly defined role, explained the process, and answered all of my questions. For me, that's far more important than the small waiting room. I was there a total of three hours, from check-in time to departure, for a colonoscopy.
Just had a colonoscopy done by my wonderful Dr. Chelimilla and I had to leave a review for this place. Everybody was SOOO nice and made me feel very comfortable in a situation that would naturally be otherwise. From the receptionist at check-in to the nurse who took my info, nurse Lucy who got my IV started on the first try. The awesome anesthesiologist with the thick southern accent and the nurse who woke me up and helped me get dressed and discharged. Amazing place with an amazing staff. THANK YOU.
