I meet Dr. Gara 4 or 5 years and I'm sorry to say don't remember how long it was but one thing I can say one the best doctor I was recommend when I began with my problem. After all this time he has able to alleviate my discomfort and I'm very please with his help. Today I feel much better and over all he is very nice and his practice. Thank you very much.

From the time I entered to my exit after the procedure, it was 5 stars all the way. Every person was so kind, caring & humble. There was no doubt that each & every individual knew their roll well, performed it like clock work & I was out of there in no time at all. Thank you to each & everyone of the staff. From the girls up front, to the Dr's & their staff in the prep & procedure area!!! I will definitely return to this facility for my next colonoscopy.
