Raleigh Endoscopy handled my procedure with the utmost care, concern, and professionalism. I was very pleased with the way the staff provided the required preparation procedures and followed up to make sure I understood. The facility was located conveniently for me and the parking garage was attached. On the day of the procedure everything was described for me and the staff, nurses, and doctors led me through the process, then gave me an out briefing afterwards. It was over before I knew it. Thank you so much!

I had an excellent experience here. Check in went smoothly, everything was explained along the way, and everyone was professional. They also send a text the next day to make sure you are alright and to see if you need a follow-up phone call.
