I don’t think that anyone would say that a colonoscopy is a barrel of laughs. Add to that the fact that I am a severe needle phobe. My in person experience with Dr. Chris Ruffini and the staff at Mid Atlantic was exemplary. Each person from Reception to Intake to the dreaded needle to the personnel during the procedure was kind, calm, and competent. (I send a special note of gratitude to Frank and Alex with regard to needles and anesthesia.). Dr. Ruffini exudes the aforementioned kindness, calm, competence and humanity. I am grateful that they took such good care of me.

Kind and knowledgeable staff. Procedure timing as expected. I would have given a 5 but the bathroom was not as clean as you would expect in a medical space. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent customer service from the beginning to the end of my procedure. The prepping for the procedure was the hardest thing the most difficult thing for me. Once I arrived I got nothing but good customer service and I felt at ease because I was very scared. I don't like needles and the nurse that took care of me Tia what's excellent with making me feel calm. I would recommend anyone to them. I don't want to leave out Dr. Meyerson because he was very professional and good at his job as well. Good job team, I'll see you in 7 to 10 years
