How likely are you to recommend Dr. Hegde?
Dr. Hegde performed my most recent colonoscopy. This was not the first time I've had the procedure. But this was the first time with this doctor looking up my hind end. I had no complaints with the now-retired physician who performed my past colonoscopies. He did a great job, as well. But Dr. Hedge was even better. I came out of sedation quicker, and wasn't bloated all day this time. Plus, in the past I would have to follow up with my primary physician to get all the details, which is okay. In this case, however, Dr. Hegde's Physician's Assistant called me to go over everything with me. She's awesome, too.
