I had a colonoscopy at the Harford Endoscopy center today. It was quick, efficient and painless.
This was my first colonoscopy and I was pretty nervous. I had a positive Cologuard test 2 weeks ago. I went through Harford Endoscopy and they gave me some forms to fill out. I took them back the following day which was a Friday. I got a call on Monday that they were ready to schedule me for my procedure. My wife uses Dr. Sood, so I requested him as my doctor. He had a cancellation and I was scheduled for my procedure very quickly.
The procedure was scheduled for a 11 am arrival. I got there at 11 and was checked in immediately. After a 15 min wait, I was called back. I can't hear very well and I told the nurses. They were very considerate and spoke slowly and directly to me so that I understood everything. I was all set up and ready to go in 30 minutes. My anesthesiologist checked in with me and went through his part very quickly and professionally. Dr. Sood stopped by to meet me and talk a little about the procedure.
I was wheeled in to the procedure room just before 12 noon. I woke up around 12:20. I felt no discomfort or pain. After a bit of recovery and final checks, I was ready to go home.
All in all, quick, efficient, very professional and painless.
I highly recommend Harford Endoscopy center. The support is fantastic. read more
