I have had pneumatic dilation several times and I am scheduled for an esophagram next week. While I am frustrated with my uncertain prognosis and by the rate of progress thus far, I am satisfied with Dr Marino’s continued efforts.

I highly recommend Dr Marino."

"I recently had a procedure performed by Dr Hymel at WJMC Endoscopy Center. Dr Hymel and his team took time to introduce themselves and explain all aspects of the procedure. They all made sure I was comfortable and answered any questions I might have had. The center was very clean and well staffed - everyone I encountered was pleasant and professional.
