As a med device rep of 30+ years, all I can say about my colonoscopies with Dr. Eidem is nothing…read morebut amazing. Each procedure was flawless and timely.

Dr Eidem tore my colon during a routine colonoscopy. I ended up in the hospital for 10 days with…read morenothing by mouth, and IV antibiotics. I was told by Dr Eidem that I had 4-5 polyps he had to remove. Three years later I got up the courage to have another colonoscopy as requested by my new doctor. My new doctor informed me after the colonoscopy was over that he found no evidence of polyps ever in my colon. I thought I was going to die after my colonoscopy with Dr Eidem. It took over a year to recover. Please, if you value your health, do not use Dr Eidem. This app made me give him a star, otherwise I wouldn't have.

Care was for screening Very good experience all around…read more Staff were friendly and helpful. Office consult with PA was informative and all questions and instructions were given verbally and in writing to take home. The next appointment for the actual screening was made quickly. The doctor ( gastroenterologist ) who did the screening was very good.

I had been putting off a colonoscopy for about a decade. I didn't realize the age had been lowered…read moreto 45 for your first baseline procedure. I thought it was a rite of passage at 50 years old. Even then, I skipped the procedure because the Covid lockdown was in full effect and all anyone ever talks about is the horrible preparation for the procedure. I opted for the poop-in-a-box instead of the real deal. After the Covid lockdown was lifted, it became impossible to ignore this. Plus, since I wasn't working, I actually had time to deal with the preparation. The administrator that handled my case was very professional, empathetic, but also very persistent. She was not going to let me back out, and frankly I needed this dedicated individual to answer my questions and keep me on target to completion. She was available to answer my questions, no matter how ridiculous or improbable or mundane they might of seemed. Generally she didn't answer the phone, but she was always good about calling me back and giving me the time and attention I needed. The procedure only happens on Mondays and Thursdays. I had to book several weeks in advance. When I got Covid and wanted to cancel, she wouldn't let me. When I told her my fears about the preparation solution, she offered me tablets instead of the unusual tasting liquid. When I had trouble getting the prescription tablets filled at my pharmacy, she rerouted my prescription to a pharmacy that was able to fulfill my request and mail them to me. When I shared my fears about being on a low fiber diet in the days leading up to the procedure, she calmly offered suggestions and helped me come up with a working meal plan. I never did meet this woman, but she is the only reason I was able to get through this procedure successfully. The clinic staff are separate from the administrative people, so you will have to fill out forms again while you wait in the lobby. Once your name is called, the people in the procedure area are all old hats at this. They will go through everything at lightening speed. In fact, since I was without food, water, and sleep, I couldn't think clearly, and consequently, I had trouble understanding them when they spoke so quickly. If there was one thing I would change, it would be asking the staff to slow down just a little. Also, share the medical history from the administrative forms I previously filled out with the procedure staff so that I don't have to do it from memory in a tired and unfueled state. Other than that, everyone was very kind and professional. Despite my fears, they took good care of me. The final report was provided that answered all of my questions. The doctor and nurse did talk to me after the procedure to let me know how everything went, but when you are coming out of anesthesia, it is hard to remember the details. The report had colored pictures of my colon. It was well diagrammed so that you could identify the different internal parts. This report was also sent digitally through the secure portal with the final notes and biopsy results. Depending on your insurance, there may be separate costs for facility charges, anesthesia, and any special tasks that are performed during the procedure, like removing polyps. Because of this, it might be hard to get an exact cost up front. Afterwards, you might be receiving multiple bills from different entities. I hate this! It really should be coordinated and provided to the patient on one bill to rule them all, but such is the status of healthcare in America. Thankfully I don't have to return for a decade. Hopefully in that time, the medical profession will find new ways to screen for colorectal cancers that aren't so invasive or anxiety producing. If not, well, I would certainly trust this establishment with my care again.

It was never discussed that she would be using an out-of-network provider fees for this procedure, and never would have done the colonoscopy with her had I known everything was going to be charged out of network. Other than the billing issues, this Dr didn't seem concerned with getting to the actual root of the problem and just expected me to take laxities the rest of my life, which I'm not about to do. From start to finish, would not recommend.

All of a…read moresudden this week, literally AN ENTIRE YEAR LATER, I'm getting multiple calls per day trying to get me to make an appointment. I can't just block the calls, because it appears to be coming from a different number and/or location every time. They're probably going to hit me with the 'we're sorry, we don't have a record of you in our system' bs reply. OBVIOUSLY. You waited a year to call me. In that year I've moved across the country. How this assembly line chain of practices manages to actually provide anyone decent care is beyond me.

Warning!!! You will not be able to switch from one doctor in this group to another. Seems once you…read morevisit with one you become his/her territory and they won't release you to another. You will have to go elsewhere. Seems the territorial patient ownership, or cronyism, has completely displaced any sense of patient care. This seems unprofessional and even unethical, and only in the medical profession is this nonsense tolerated. The second time I contacted this group was to make an appointment for a doctor who was on my PCP's referral list. Turns out, I could not see the second doc because I had already seen another doc in this practice. I could not be released from the first doctor's "care" to see another doc in the same practice. The first doctor I met with here (I actually with his PA who did not seem to have much knowledge in her field) had a line of supplements that he promotes. Because of his response to one of my questions, it was obvious he is a more salesman for his supplements than he is a doctor and I would not consider returning to him. So there's no shortage of gastroenterologist in dfw and his is not a huge problem. But the decline of ethical standards in the medical field is shocking and deserves to be reported on.

If he is not accepting new patients, that needs to be communicated via his website or via voice greeting when one calls in. They do say in their recorded greeting that their staff is small and patience is required on call backs. So is 10 days patient enough? I am thinking one week is patient, anything longer than that means something is wrong with the office. He could also modernize his website for new patient appointments, that would allow new patients to enter in patient information and lesson the burden on staff.

He has been the best doctor I've ever seen and his staff was extremely attentive and helpful. The staff responded quickly and all of them were very kind. I wish everyone there could train all other doctor offices on how to provide the same level of care.
