I saw a Dr. Rakowski (not sure of the spelling) at this office back in March for an issue with…read moreswallowing. He told me I need some type of endoscopic procedure and that they could do it the following month. When I didn't get a call to schedule the procedure, I called the office and was told that they had to depend on one of the local hospitals to perform these procedures and the next opening wouldn't be until July. The two dates I was eventually offered in July didn't work for me. I was then told it would be in September. When I didn't receive a call to schedule for September, I called the office and was told that there weren't any openings for September and that the doctor was out of the office until October. Apparently they don't have the resources to purchase their own equipment and so have to rely on the hospital to do these procedures. I have been waiting since March for a procedure I was told I needed. Very unprofessional and I have gone elsewhere. Avoid this provider!

Dr. Patel came straight in and went over all the details and options with Kenneth. It was a lot to take in but great information overall. We settled on a plan of action that seems best.

He ordered labs so we can get a baseline of where we are. Once we were finished with labs I was done.

While the provider has been pleasant to work with, the scheduling and overall site management has…read morebeen extremely frustrating. 10/10/2025: I scheduled an appointment for 3/6 to follow up on my test results, as that was the first available date. That appointment was rescheduled due to the provider being out. I arrived today (3/20) for the rescheduled appointment, only to find that the provider is not on site again and being rescheduled for late June. I also received a message yesterday confirming today's appointment and confirming my attendance. At this point, I have been waiting nearly six months to review my results and discuss a necessary medication prescription, which is extremely concerning and frustrating. I have also been told that I am unable to transfer to another provider, leaving me without any timely option for care.

A stat referral was sent for this office after a 5 day hospital visit. I called on December 29th to…read moreschedule my appointment (after waiting on hold for 15 minutes), as I hadn't heard from them after waiting 5 days (again, for a stat referral). The earliest appointment they had was for the middle of March. The day before my appointment, they called me and said they had to cancel my appointment because the doctor would be out the following day. I called back, waited on hold for another 10 minutes, then I was hung up on before speaking to anyone. According to the other reviews here this is a common practice. Dr. Suga was fantastic, but the office staff and scheduling is absolutely abysmal. If they really can't manage to keep appointments made 3 months out with a stat referral they should really re-evaluate how they are handling scheduling at their practice.

I took the early morning gig, first one in, Yee RN was a gem, answering my questions, easing my mind and getting me ready for the procedure. Randy the nurse anesthetist came in happy and very comforting, letting me know about the anesthesia he would use to put me under. He wheeled me into the surgical room, Kathy joked with me, Randy turned on the Propofol, night-night. I woke up 30 minutes later, actually feeling great, no soreness at all. Dr Michael Baker MD came in and reported all he'd seen during my procedure, very positive guy. My sweet recovery nurse, Andrea RN disconnected me from all the lines and IV, let me get dressed and then walked me out to my awaiting car, twenty steps away! I so appreciated the way I was treated today at the Endoscopy Center of Colorado Springs! I'll be back in 7-10 years.
