There are a lot of old and very negative reviews here - well, I had a C procedure done here today…read moreand definitely 5 star, with some mild caveats.
First, I'd tell anyone this is a fine practice and encourage them to use them, based on my one experience. I was referred a few weeks ago by my doc, I'm 72, have 2 C's done, the last showed polops. So he referred me here and within a week or so they contacted me to begin the scheduling and information sharing process - health records, etc.
That part was a little bumpy but, fine. Good enough.
I was scheduled for 8:30 check in today with Dr. Pritchard and they had informed me thoroughly way in advance on the 'prep procedure',, we all know what that entails (no pun intended). Very thorough and detailed, etc. I felt well advised and prepared. I followed them to the letter. Ugh.
Checked in at 8:30, the only negative being a little lack of signage that Endoscopy Center is Rockies etc office, and there's no receptionist in that office. No big deal. But there was a plethora of signage so the critical information was a bit buried. The folks already in the waiting room laughed when, like everyone else, I wandered around the reception area a bit lost as to what to do. Ok, button buzzer on the wall. Hit it, a young man appeared and off to the races. Super friendly and efficient!
I was put in a nice super clean bathroom with necessary dressing gown and socks, a bag for my clothes, and when I walked out immediately ushered to one of those tented beds, there were lots, it's a bustling place.
Devin hooked me up to machines, Maggie did a great job getting the needle in painlessly for the drip, and she and another sharp, friendly, professional and efficient young lady began the usual questionnaire with her ipad.
I loved it when they told me I'd be filled with air and should fart as needed.
Again, I've had two of these before at different hospitals and all were good experiences. But the man next to me who I heard being interviewed for his 8th, 12th C scope?? I don't remember but I do remember he was born Aug 18, 1941 - and had a section of his colon removed in one of those - has chosen this practice which gave me confidence.
Soon, rolled into the op room, again very efficient, got my drip, rolled on my side and was in gaga land.
Woke up back in my tent area, Dr. Prichard told me the results, done.
They called my wife, done, outa there.
