"Very professional. Even though it’s basically an assembly line type process, they are friendly and informative and make sure you are comfortable with everything."
"Rating a colonoscopy is like rating sleep. I don't remember anything. His staff was pretty cool and the doc gave me good results. Next visit is scheduled for 2029."
"Overall a positive experience for my first colonoscopy. Communication was confusing at the start. PDF fliers on Prep had conflicting and confusing information since I didn’t know what to expect. When I arrived at hospital I was instructed to go to the office upstairs not the procedure check in area. Admin assistant at office treated me like I was an idiot for going there. I’d never been to even consult with Doctor in person, so had no idea. Procedure check in went well. Nurse who took me back was so very kind and helpful. The whole time up to arriving in the procedure room felt welcoming and inviting, but once I got rolled into the room, I felt like I was on a conveyor belt: roll over, you’re going to go to sleep, then it was over. Before I went out I saw people I didn’t know come into the room and it felt like too many people in a small space. I was vulnerable (like anyone with their ass in the air). Waking up was strange, but I felt ok with the same nurse there to help me out of the sleep. Glad to see photos of insides were clear and a 10 year pass until the next. Overall, positive, but a couple of hiccups in the process gave me anxiety about the experience. Happy to discuss further if interested."
"The nurse and Dr was very polite and informative about my concerns and explained everything that I needed and was very nice and understanding. Thanks for all your help."
"They were able to give me a very quick appointment after an ER visit and also a very quick appointment for my tests to be done all in the same day to minimize my having to take off work for multiple appointments. Very friendly staff and Dr. U is very attentive and easy to talk to. He also makes sure to listen to your concerns and not make you feel rushed."
"I was hesitant to go at first. I live in the northland. However, if I wanted my scope done sooner, I would have to travel to Independence. It was well worth the trip. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, I was treated like I was the most important person there. Everything was explained thoroughly, pre and post procedure. I was treated with dignity during a potentially embarrassing procedure. With my family history of colon cancer, I became emotional after everything was done. I'm relieved that nothing serious was found. The nurse was very attentive and gave me some time to recover. Dr. U. Was excellent. I received a follow-up phone call the next day. Thank you all!"
"All staff was very respectful and courteous. My follow-up consultation was very good he took his time to hear me out on everything so I am very pleased."
"From scheduling and reception to all nurses and doctors I came in contact with, they were kind and made the procedure as comfortable as they could. Excellent patient care!"
"Considering the reason I was there lol. They are are great group of doctors. The staff is amazing, very organized, and attentive. The whole process is quick and easy."
"Dr U was so kind and understanding. Made me feel at ease right from the start. Knowledgeable, patient, willing to listen. I'm blessed to have him as my new GI Dr."
"My initial visit was very pleasant. The doctor was very knowledgeable and the staff very nice. I just want to get this procedure done and over with with good results. I’m worried about esophageal cancer"
"I really liked the way they actually looked concerned about my well being not like other places were you go and your just another number. I would recommend this Doc to anyone 👌"
