"My experience at the doctors office was very good. Unexpectedly, I needed a wheelchair. Everyone went out of their way to accommodate me. I didn’t feel as though I was imposing upon them at all.

"Coming from a family with a bad history of colon cancer my father and two of my uncles were all diagnosed with stage 4 cancer by the age of 57. None of them ever had a colonoscopy done as a preventative measure. Sadly being hardheaded was the cause. Towards the end of my dad's life he told me get screened don't be like them " I'm not getting a tube put up my rear" . I started getting screening at 46 and now go every couple years and have had polyps removed ever time. If your on the fence about getting a colonoscopy don't be. The worst part is the day before prepping and not being able to eat but in comparison it's a small price to pay vs dealing with cancer plus your knocked out it's over before you know it. Dr Walsh is great makes you feel at ease throughout the whole process. Get screened! Rather have a tube put up my rear vs wearing a colostomy bag any day."

"Dr Douglas Walsh is the BEST. He has been my husband's Dr for going on 6 years now and he saved his life. When he started seeing him it was in the hospital and was only given 48 hours to live being diagnosed with Stage 4 Cirrhosis of the liver with only 13% liver function at the time of arrival at the hospital. Was in ICU for 5 days and Rehab for 21 days. Was 270 lbs when he got sick now at 209 and will be 6 years sober this year 2023. Numbers are good with lab results. Thanks to Dr Walsh and God for giving him a second chance at life."
