This facility is fabulous! Colonoscopy is not a fun procedure, but the folks who run this business are so kind and professional. Everyone sympathized with me about how hard the preparation for the medical procedure can be. There were 2 restrooms in the waiting room in case of need and they were used frequently. :) The medical staff, nurses, technicians, and doctors were diligent in gathering the needed information for their tasks in the procedure. Dr. Tomas Valerio has a great bedside manner and explained all the details of the procedure before and the results afterwards. They took great care is escorting me out to a waiting car with my driver. I am appreciative of all of the folks who assisted me with this arduous, but necessary preventative treatment.
The providers were great, the anesthesiologist and Dr. Kitzman who did the colonoscopy. They were pleasant, professional and Dr. Kitzman came into my recovery room right after I came back to full consciousness and told me the results. It was very nice to get immediate feedback. However, the written instructions for what I was required to do in preparation for the procedure were very authoritarian. Not pleasant, and actually not very professional. It put me on edge a bit. Unfortunately I had a small bowel obstruction that showed up several hours after the colonoscopy that took 2-1/2 days to resolve in the hospital. Apparently I got a kink in my small intestines that blocked movement of waste. My wife called the number given on the discharge instructions from the endoscopy center to get them involved with the bowel obstruction but we did not get a call back from them....ever. Not good.
The staff were patient, kind, and understanding. Checking in was easy, I was treated with kindness and friendliness. It made the whole process very comfortable.
