    "Dr. Roling is great and personable. His nurse was very nice too. 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."

    "After the initial questions, the doctor performed palpations, had me lie on the table and pressed on parts of my abdomen. I wish that he had told me what he was looking for. If the idea was to press to see if there was pain in a region, I think it would have been helpful if, after the examination, he had said, " I did the procedure to see if there were any tender areas that might merit further investigation. Since there were none, it seems that all is well." If that was not the purpose of the procedure, that still reinforces the idea that it would have been good to talk with me about it. Otherwise, I had a good patient - doctor experience."

    "Emily was a great nurse taking her time asking me questions and spelling out what will happen for the upcoming surgeries and Dr. Roling was just outstanding. He listened to my situation, checked me thoroughly, suggested what needs to be done to solve this situation, and explained exactly what will happen. And then he asked if I had any questions and answered them so I could easily understand the answer. Dr. Roling has just the best "bedside manner" for patients; he made me feel comfortable and reassured that he will take care of me. I would also like to add that the young lady checking me in was very nice and made me feel I was glad to be there. Overall, just an outstanding experience"
