Learn MoreMy doctor sent me a referral here I called several times never got an answer. They sent me a letter in mail stating they got a referral and to call still no answer after weeks.
Humiliating experience. Followed all instructions and when I wasn't correctly prepped they blamed me and told me I should have called. At 4am? When you told me to take it? I won't get into how extremely awful and humiliating this experience was but please go elsewhere if you can. Whatever doctor I had stared at the ceiling while speaking with me, didn't listen to a word I said and mumbled something about diverticulitis while my paperwork reflected nothing of what he spoke about. I've had bad experiences in the ER before but this experience was appalling....all of these 1 star reviews are here for a reason. Avoid.
Had my 1st procedure & 1st visit to this location recently. Dr. Barbarevech and his team were so kind, professional and did a great job informing me on all the details and every step of the procedure. Kept me at ease the entire time.
I had my 5 year procedure today at the center. Dr Patel and his entire staff from the sweet woman who checked me in, to the nurse that took my information and also the nurse that gave me my iv. Everyone could not of been kinder , respectful and professional . Anyone who is dreaded the colonoscopy fear no more . It is easy fast and then you have a piece of mind. Thanks Again . Schelly K
