Thank-you for an very top notch experience. I am someone who needs to get a colonoscopy every 5 years due to family history. I can't say enough about the staff. You are cared for from front door to the exit no pun intended! I wish more people would realize the importance of early detection. It's not anything to be afraid of especially when you are cared for by a great team of people!!

The staff is really nice and professional. I always have a good experience. I always have Doctor Meyerson for my procedure, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
