"You must know that having a camera where cameras do not belong is not something you look forward to butt: Having Dr Sperling as your Dr, he’ll just make you laugh and help you to fill comfortable, (as comfortable as possible) I usually ask for a bag of popcorn to enjoy 😉 the movie. He reminds you, this movie you have already seen the rear end of it and it’s boring. You’ll also be sound asleep God Bless Rob and Robin"

"I was 45mins late for the appointment and the entire staff went out of their way to work me in. I apologized to every person who helped me, including Dr. Sperling, who cut me off mid- phrase and softly said, “No apologies needed”. The service was excellent and everyone was polite and forgiving. It was comforting to be treated so well when I knew had put a strain on their schedule. Also, a new procedure has been established to make the colonoscopy easier to read. The last time it was very hard to clean my colon sufficiently. The new procedure is one I will follow to the letter."
