Whether they are busy or not, I never feel like I am not important. Each Doctor has met with me at one point or another I can not say a single negative thing about them. I would suggest them to anyone I know. Updaye 2023: They had a problem with meds being delivered and they went above and beyond for me to ensure I didn't miss an infusion. Another example of great care and service. Thank you to the incredible staff!"

Dr Christopoulos was very professional and gave me the the results in terms I could understand. I have to give a shout out to Debbie, one of the receptionists. I was very upset when I got there, because we got lost on the way there and I had to go the bathroom really really badly. She walked me around the facility to calm me down so my BP was not over the top. It must have worked because my BP was 135/60 before the procedure. Though having a colonoscopy (especially the prep) is not a walk in the park, the staff there was exceptionally efficient as well as compassionate."
