He was very gentle. and he was very upbeat and I really, really like him and I really, really appreciate him and I would recommend him to all of my relatives who live in this area, which is not that many, you know, for, you know, for the services that he contributes. But anyhow, I thank him very much for everything that he's done. He is really a nice person and a great doctor."

We did not feel rushed and at the conclusion of our meeting, we felt comfortable with knowing as much as possible regarding the surgery.

    "It was very difficult to find a date that the doctor would have time to see me. It was great that he finally did find time for me, but I'm still waiting weeks and weeks and weeks to see. I understand there aren't enough doctors like this doctor, but it's been very frustrating that it took that long to get an appointment and still requiring me to wait a long time, like over a month to see the doctor. The end."

    "The nurse was terrific. When I expressed my nervousness, she took it seriously and was reassuring. After my appointment, she had to get a procedure scheduled with radiology. When it took longer than she had anticipated for radiology to respond, she called me to let me know why there was a delay. I really appreciated that. And she called early the next morning with a response. I immediately felt confidence about the doctor's competence. He too was kind, personable, and honest about what he did and didn't know. And he explained that there would be more tests even if the biopsy result is negative. I left feeling better than I had when I arrived."

My complaint is this: I booked my original appointment for July, then MA changed it to September, then it was changed to Nov. 3 which I was finally able to keep. So now I am not getting my colonoscopy until 9 months after my original appt. That's not my idea of timely service."
