The Endoscopy Center deserves five stars. EVERYONE at the center was extremely nice and professional. My only regret is that Dr. CHOBANIAN is retiring. I have always had the best because I started with Dr. GENE OVERHOLT and when he started taking only cancer patients I was blessed to be able to become a patient of Dr. Chobanian. I will continue to stay with this group even though both will be retired.
