Staff was very friendly and conscientious of safety with the Pandemic. The staff continually checked to see if I had any questions, make sure I understood the procedure and make sure I was comfortable.

I had some issues since I previously had Blue-Cross-Sheild insurance. Apparently they still had by old insurance policy and would not approve my procedure. The first time I resolved this with the receptionist only to have to revisit it again with a different receptionist. Notes should be entered into my chart to avoid this problem. The nurses and prep staff were excellent !

Staying well during the coronavirus pandemic is important, but are you sacrificing your colon health by delaying what could be a life-saving colonoscopy? You may think staying at home is a way you can do your part to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but having a colonoscopy is a basic form of preventive care that could save your life.
I received a Covid screening at the door. The young lady cleaned every seat in the waiting room as patients were called. The ladies at the front desk were friendly and welcoming. My nurses were both ICU trained so I knew I had highly skilled care. The tech and Dr. Pavelock we’re kind, efficient, and professional. The facility was very clean. I felt very well-cared for. Thank you all.
