I'm in my late sixties and I finally got my 1st Colonoscopy (almost a big mistake for waiting so…read morelong) and boy am I glad I did. They found and removed Three(3) polyps which prevented some serious future issues. Dr Daniel Bujanda and his team could not have made this experience any better, from start to finish they were nothing but polite, knowledgable and professional and having this done is a big relief. This was a very quick & simple process and I strongly recommend that if you haven't already gotten a Colonoscopy, Get-it-Done !!!

I had a colonoscopy here in July 2026. The doctor was excellent, communicated clearly, connected…read morewith me before the procedure. I was reassured and knew I was in good hands. The Center was well maintained and very clean. The reception desk young women were friendly, professional, and efficient. Those are the positives for this Center. The negatives for me were: I had a 90 minute wait in their waiting room ( crowded, TV blaring, loud conversations between other people waiting); I had only male nurses attending me, they didn't have much of a bedside manner, they were focused mostly on getting me moving through the process as if I were an object, not a person, and the male nurse who administered the anesthetic was actually a bit mocking and sarcastic. The male nurse who inserted the needle into my arm had to try 3 times before he got it right. Afterwards, I got a very uncertain and unconfident female RN who tried to go through the after surgery report hurriedly and brushed off my questions from what looked to me as fearful I would somehow challenge her. So it was a mixed bag of good and bad. Doctor is good, front reception is good, but wait time and all male nurses treating a female patient, all lacking the courteous, compassionate bedside care we'd all like to have-- that could be improved.

TO: TANYA BRNDZIA Deeply Disappointed by Lack of Compassion…read moreand Professionalism I brought my daughter in to be seen, and while she initially did well--greeting staff and sitting calmly--that shifted the moment the NP approached her. My daughter is autistic and, like many neurodivergent children, can become overwhelmed with unfamiliar or abrupt interactions. Instead of approaching the situation with patience or understanding, the doctor said, "If you can't control your child, I don't have time." Let me be clear: 1. My daughter has special needs, and regulating a child like her takes time and skill--not impatience and judgment. 2. There's a reason these appointments are scheduled--to meet the patient where they are and provide care accordingly. 3. The comment was not only unprofessional, but extremely insensitive, especially coming from someone who chose a career in providing care To others. TRULY DISAPPOINTED & DISGUSTED.

don't come here. They don't care. They just want to send you on their way. I had went in because…read morebecause I was experiencing flu/covid symptoms, I got tested &' was negative for both of them. They told me I had a simple cold &' i should be able to go back to work. Well two days comes by i go to work i have another fever. So i go back tell them I was feeling worse &' I got tested again. I waited for 2 &' A HALF hours just for them to tell me they don't know what's wrong with me, so they gave me a Throat culture &' i wasn't supposed to receive the test results until Friday supposedly. they sent me home with nothing &' just told me to take ibuprofen &' tylenol. I couldn't wait till friday so I had went somewhere else to get checked &' turns out I had MULTIPLE things wrong with me including pneumonia. Friday passed &' Next care never gave me my tests results. The doctors here suck.
