My first screening colonoscopy ✅
I had been putting this off for too many years! Dr. Nikhil Banerjee was very professional and took his time to explain the procedure and address my questions.

This was my first colonostopy and the team was the best. Everything possible was perfect. I would recommend this 100%.
Very well organized operation. Procedure was over so fast for me. Felt great right away after waking up.
This was a great experience of something no one likes to do. The prep for my colonoscopy was comparatively easy and the treatment by each and every person on the staff was sympathetic and understanding.
Absolutely a wonderful Doctor and surgery staff
Very kind and professional and good medical advise❤️
Dr Banjeree and the staff are great to work with. They solved my problem which was critical for my health and ability to go to work. I couldn’t be happier with the care and service!
Thorough, organized and on time. Best possible experience for this procedure.
Dr. Banerjee is a wonderful doctor and has a great bedside manner. I like the way he explain everything to me that I understand .
Routine check up but who ever wants to go thru the prep and procedure? No one. But, no pun intended, everyone was so polite and reassuring with any questions I had, made this trip 3 a piece of cake!
Oven blankets, 3 fun nurses to help me relax and end with the best nap I’ve ever had made the experience a very good visit!! Even a sip of Diet Coke to celebrate the good news, “See you in 10 years!!”
Getting older and making sure I stay healthy is important. I trust Dr. Banerjee and the staff here to help in this ever changing season of life. Thank you.

Great service. Leave your nerves at the door, you won’t need them. Dr Banerjee and his team put you at ease and give it to you straight.
I’ve never been to the office but I did have a colonoscopy and endoscopy by the Dr. Banerjee. This was my first time to see him. So there was some apprehension, but I was soon very comfortable after meeting him. The prep I had was simple and extremely effective. The Dr was informative and explained everything to me so I could understand. Which I appreciate. The best colonoscopy I’ve ever had.
Doctor Benerjee is a very good doctor and also a very decent person. He is very patient, easy going. I am happy to find him to be my doctor.
The office is convenient and efficient when making an apptmt. The admin and nursing staff are friendly and professional. I only waited about 5 minutes to be seen in an exam room by his nurse, after which I waited another 35 minutes in the exam room to see Dr. Banerjee. He fully answered all of my concerns and presented several treatment options. He has an easygoing manner and easy to talk to.
This was my first visit to the practice. I found everyone very nice. Dr. Bakeries was personal and I got an appointment scheduled for my colonoscopy & endoscopy.
Everyone was so professional and helpful. Any questions I had were quickly answered.
Everyone was great, friendly and professional. Doctor Nikhil was very informative and very clear on what he wanted to accomplish. Nothing but good things to say about the whole experience.
I thought the nurses and facilities were excellent & very efficient. I thought the doctor was efficient even though he didn’t spend hardly anytime to explain procedures & less time with results
I appreciated the discussion with the doctor before the procedure and would have preferred to have a visit with the doctor post procedure
Maybe I did have a discussion with the doctor post procedures and possibly I don’t remember due to the effect of the anesthesia
The nurses were very helpful pre and post procedures
Overall well done

Dr Banneejee probably saved my life at Missouri Baptist in 2024. The staff can be a bit snarky including a nurse that jammed an iv needle into my hand but they did a good job overall and the procedure went very smoothly aside from a couple of small bumps.
