I would like to share my experience during a recent colonoscopy appointment. I followed all of the…read morepreparation instructions provided to me and took the necessary steps to be ready for the procedure. However, because I did not take one product, MiraLAX, I was denied the procedure. What was most disappointing was that I was not offered an opportunity to reschedule, discuss alternatives, or receive guidance on next steps. I had already completed the preparation process and taken an unpaid day off from work to attend the appointment. I also found the physician's communication to be unprofessional and lacking empathy. Instead of discussing possible solutions, I felt that I was being blamed for the situation. As a patient, I expected more understanding, respect, and concern for my health and well-being. I hope this feedback helps improve patient communication, flexibility, and overall care for future patients.

I experienced what I believe to be unfair and unprofessional treatment by office staff, including being denied the opportunity to schedule an appointment and having my calls disconnected without receiving a return call from a nurse or medical professional.

I hope this matter is reviewed promptly to ensure patients receive appropriate care and professional treatment.

I would not recommend this office for any procedures. My experience was extremely concerning, and I…read morefelt both unsafe and disregarded. After my endoscopy, I woke up with a swollen, busted lip and throat/neck pain that lasted for more than three days. When I reported this, the physician suggested I pay out of pocket for a scan of my neck--despite the pain clearly resulting from the procedure performed in their office. The procedure itself began more than two hours late, the staff was unfriendly, and my personal belongings were accessed while I was under anesthesia. Even more troubling, there were abnormal findings from my CT scan that was also performed here , that were never disclosed to me by the physician. After this encounter, I sought treatment from another physician for a second opinion, as my symptoms continued. That doctor informed me of abnormal findings that the original provider never disclosed. When I tried to voice my concerns and file a formal grievance, management dismissed me and the provider told me that what I experienced was "normal and standard." No patient should leave a medical procedure in pain, feeling unheard, or with their personal items handled without consent. And no patient should have abnormal results hidden from them. If you want to feel safe, respected, and properly cared for, I strongly recommend looking into a different medical office.

It is truly upsetting that a business in the healthcare field can show so little care for patients…read more My medication was not covered by insurance, and despite repeated calls from both my pharmacy and me, I still have not received it. I have also called several times a week asking about a referral for an X-ray that needs to be completed elsewhere, and no one has followed up with me. To make matters worse, this office is actively asking people to leave Google reviews while failing to handle basic patient needs. Asking for public praise while neglecting patient care feels dishonest and incredibly tone-deaf. I did not want to believe the reviews, but they are absolutely true. This office has been unresponsive, dismissive, and incredibly frustrating to deal with. Please avoid going here and save yourself the hassle.

The front desk is efficient. The signage posted is clear. Typically, for an office visit, the waiting time is 5-10 minutes. It is the same with waiting for the provider to enter the exam room. The time for waiting for a procedure is anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes. The nursing staff is very caring, and the providers take their time to answer all your questions.

I lived on Camp Lejeune many years ago and suffered cancer at least 5 other major conditions so I do need to be monitored on a regular basis due to my conditions from that contaminated water. Dr. Ibegbu is beyond amazing, extremely knowledgeable/skilled professional and compassionate. I have always been very, very satisfied with all of the care I have been given at the Jacksonville and Kinston office. I just had back to back procedures done by Dr. Ibegbu, the CRNA, Vida and Megan and I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart! I recently read a number of the negative reviews here and I totally disagree with them. I was a Surgical First Assistant at Carolina East many years along with working with 3 other Surgeons in New Bern. I know that there are many patients that will never be satisfied personally with anything in life so their opinions about Physicians/Specialist are always going to be equally negative. I'm a native from Jacksonville, NC, I've lived out of the country, in other states here in our country. There's one tragedy that still continues throughout our country and that is racism. Another very sad problem and that's jealousy of very educated and successful individuals. After reading some of these reviews, I have no doubt that most of these negative reviews absolutely involve RACISM which is hate and ignorance. JEALOUSY which together with Racism is a mental illness! Please learn to love your ownself and live a more positive life, people.
