My experience at The Endoscopy Center was very.pleasant. Everyone was extremely nice and very helpful. I would recommend it to everybody. Dr. Huffman is very nice and extremely helpful if you have any questions and will take plenty of time with his patients or he did so with me. He has a wonderful bedside manner which is somewhat difficult to find sometimes. He has a beautiful smile that seems to help in calming me for I have bad panic attacks when they start to put me to sleep. I wish I could remember the sweet lady who put me to sleep and talked so calmly and so sweet. She knew inwas having a difficult time but calmed me down right when I gave her a certain scared look. That was the last thing I remembered. Thanks to everybody there I never worry again about going back for any procedure. Thanks to all!!
Everyone I encountered during my experience was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. I highly recommend the Endoscopy Center.
This place is like a well oiled machine from the time you walk in the front door until the time you exit the back door They are amazing.
Got in and out in a timely manner and everyone is so friendly. I have been going there for 15 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
When it comes to colon cancer, there are many factors that you cannot control. It’s impossible to eliminate risk factors such as age, race and ethnicity, family history, health conditions and genetic syndromes.
Delays in diagnosis and treatment of cancer during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in worse outcomes for some patients, according to recently published data.
A new study published in Gastroenterology suggests increased levels of vitamin D could help prevent colon cancer in adults under 50.
Every person that I made contact with from the entrance to departure were kind and caring. My mon died of colon cancer, so at times like these I’m a nervous wreck. It was reassuring and calming to have everyone be so gentle and kind. All the nurses … excellent I wish I could name them. Larry the anesthesiologist reassured me, he would not leave my side. Dr Altawil put my concerns at ease before the process . Has a sunny disposition full of encouragement.
