I was very apprehensive about having another colonscopy due to a bad experience I previously had in another state. I am so grateful for the positive experience I had with The Endoscopy Center. Outstanding staff that assured me that I would be well taken care of and a great physician Dr Newman who was very nice and made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend them for your endoscopy needs.
