I needed to pick up my prep kit before my procedure and the staff was friendly and helpful in providing very good directions to where I needed to go get that when I originally went to the wrong location for that. The staff was also great on the morning I arrived for my procedure. No problems whatsoever, very cheerful and helpful. It's going to be a while before I need to come back for my next preventative screening, but I will definitely be coming back here!

I think that for prepping instructions it needs to be noted that if a girl has not had her monthly that they will be required to give urine sample when they arrive. Not all people can go under pressure even after having 3 bags from the IV. I almost had my appointment canceled because I could not go. I would have waited to go before I got there to avoid waiting 2 1/2 hours. Please Please make this a note on the Prep sheet. It’s not fun to miss an appointment and have to do it all over when it could be avoided by a simple note. Everything else went well and the doctor was great along with all others that worked there.

I had a colonoscopy without sedation by Dr. Ruffini. The staff were great and while a colonoscopy isn't comfortable, Dr. Ruffini was very helpful with explaining how the procedure would be before he started so I knew exactly what to expect.

The staff is very professional and genuinely caring. Everything was clearly explained upon arrival. Having the prep kit mailed made it super easy, too. Highly recommended!
