Patient Reviews
May 29, 2021
He did my 1st colonoscopy @ 2011 in a procedure room in his office which avoids a hospital atmosphere-instead it's a very calming atmosphere. He was very professional & put me at ease. I was impressed that he told me @ pills you could take instead of the gallon+ of nasty prep, & explained he did not use pills for prep (higher risk of side effects/problems) but if I wanted pills, he would gladly provide referral to drs that used it-he explained options pros/cons & then assumed I was smart enough to make a choice which he'd support either way. I had 1 small benign polyp so he encouraged re-screening in 3 years, not 5. When that one had no polyps, he went to 5 year re-screening. He now uses Dominion Anesthesia & they are excellent. He reviewed results with me & made time for questions before & after procedure. He nows provides 3 prep choices/Rx including a more costly option that is two 4 or 8 oz bottles you chug & follow with water. I also use for general GI issues-pleased with all.
