Dr. Furs is not only master-calibre at what he does but, equally as important, he's kind-hearted & funny. So while getting a colonoscopy is no laughing matter, Dr. Furs and his outstanding team are clearly committed to making the process, well, pleasant. Let's be clear: thanks to modern-day anesthetics (thank you, amazing Angela!) the actual colonoscopy is 100% pain-free even if, like me, a polyp is removed. And the truth is with Dr. Furs I had zero post-procedure discomfort. (Yes, I love this doctor!) The prep, on the other hand, is challenging from the standpoint you have to fast a short time and ingest a pricey prescription colon cleanser. The point is the bowel needs to be emptied so the camera-outfitted probe can literally let Dr. Furs see your gut's condition. Excuse me, but we're talking a small price to pay for cancer prevention (which my otherwise vibrant father unnecessarily died from, which wasn't pretty either). So if you've been dreading & procrastinating -- trust me, I get it -- do yourself and your loved ones a favor: schedule your colonoscopy with very-much-in-demand Dr. Furs (efficient & kind Stephanie will listen to your concerns and get you all set up). I can wholeheartedly promise what you've been hearing is indeed true: Happy Gut = Happy You!

Great experience. I was expecting it to be worse than my yearly mammogram but it was surprisingly easy. The staff were all great and I highly recommend this place for your colonoscopy.
