Care givers are amazing and the center very efficient and professional. There are several competent physicians to choose from so it was easy for me to find one with who I am comfortable. Follow up comments and recommendations post diagnostics is extremely quick. If your doctor has recommended a colonoscopy and you have a choice, I highly recommend you consider this center.
