Initially, I was told they could not provide a referral because I had not been seen within the past year. After I left a review expressing my concerns, they changed their position and agreed to send a referral--but only for an office visit, not for the colonoscopy that had been recommended. The inconsistency is what makes this so frustrating. Ohio Gastro Group stated they could not refer me for a colonoscopy because I had not been seen recently enough, yet they were more than willing to schedule that same colonoscopy at their own facility without requiring an office visit first.

My grandfather died from colon cancer, so timely screening is important to me. By refusing to provide a proper referral, I am now facing a 3-6 month wait to establish care with a new gastroenterologist in Colorado before I can even schedule the procedure. Meanwhile, I could have had the colonoscopy completed within days if I traveled back to Ohio and paid their office. The entire situation gave the impression that generating additional office visits and revenue was being prioritized over continuity of care and patient convenience.

The doctor was friendly and gave good advice on how to handle my situation. My problem was with the fee: I was charged $305, of which insurance (OSU HP) paid $118. I have to pay $187 for a visit (no tests or procedures). This seems excessive. I emailed them about this, and they didn't have any explanation of the charges other than that visits to specialists were more expensive than primary care. I am going to ask more questions about price etc. next time I get a referral.

I am 50-now and it is time for me to get bootie probed every five year--especially since colon cancer runs in my family. **public service announcement** Cue the bright colored TV peacock and chimes--dune, dooo, dune-- if your older than 45 please get your butt probe every five years; colon cancer is easily treatable if you nail it early. Everyone here from the receptionist, to the pre-op nurses, to the anesthesiologist, to the surgeon, to the post op team, to the people who called to check up on me days later were super friendly, kind, had a professional gravitas that made any anxiety about the procedure evaporate. Before hand they reiterated the purpose of the scan, thoroughly reviewed every the RXs I was on, and described what was about to happened. Afterwards, they contact my driver ( you have to have one) to relay what they found and what action to take and not take. This was a great relief; it was my first colonoscopy so I didn't know what to expect. (Naively, I didn't realize I would be in a surgical grown. Good thing, for I realized to late I was in a Pink Floyd shirt and imaged the surgical team joking "Now we are about to explore the dark side of the moon!") I love this place. Highly recommended. And get your butt probed old farts!

I was told they would call me the day before surgery and tell me when to arrive. The day before surgery I waited until 4:20 pm for a call and it never came. So I called at 4:20pm to ask because their hours said they closed at 4:30pm. They were already closed for the day. So I called my surgeons office to say I wasn't showing up the next day because I had not been given a time. They then told me the surgery had been cancelled and would have to be done at the hospital. It is now 2 days later, my surgery is tomorrow and the hospital wants me to prepay but Dublin Surgical has not refunded what I advance paid them for a service they failed to perform. Would you want surgery at a facility that was this incompetent at simple administration? I wouldn't.

Ok, surgeons are truly hit or miss. Dr Costin was a true blessing after a string of less than…read morestellar docs have come my way lately. His office fit me in so quickly for a non life threatening situation. They actually could've fit me in the same day as my doctors referral which is amazing. Docs just don't do that unless you're dying. His staff was truly pleasant. Actually nice, not just fake nice. They smiled and had personalities. The wait time in the waiting room was extremely minimal as well as in the exam room. The Dr himself was very pleasant. Easy to talk to and able to answer every question I had for him. He was open and honest about the procedure he was recommending. I felt like he was knowledgeable of the condition I had and confident that surgery (with him) was the best course of treatment. After the exam was over, I met with his scheduling coordinator who was extremely efficient, pleasant and easy to work with. I'm glad I was referred to Dr Costin. While having surgery in the near future is scary, he's definitely put my mind at ease.

A year and two rounds of physical therapy later, she officially gave up on me. Yep, sent me on my way. Told me to try getting a massage. And then no less than a dozen doctors gave up on me. Through the years, I've seen chiropractors, a Chinese medicine DO, three gastroenterologists, a physical manipulation specialist, and a handful of Western medicine docs. I've been needled, herbed, cracked, and popped... I'm pretty sure I even went on a spiritual witch hunt for a while to exorcise a demon. I spent no less than $10,000 on scans, pills, and massages and countless hours in doctors' offices. And then I met Dr. Richard Costin. He had been referred by one of my caring doctors who just didn't know what to do with me anymore. He said Dr. Costin is the surgeon he'd choose for surgery on himself. Sounded good enough for me! If you've ever seen a surgeon, you probably know they're... well... not the nicest. You pray for one who's just a pompous, self-righteous ass and not one who's completely cold-hearted and unrelatable to people. Well, Dr. Costin was neither! Don't get me wrong... he wasn't shitting out rainbows and butterflies, but was truly great. He was kind, really listened to my concerns, and spent enough time with me at every visit. Dr. Costin told me he believed my problems stemmed from my gallbladder, even though all my tests came back saying otherwise. He said he had seen a few patients with symptoms like mine and that he thought removing my gallbladder would be the right thing. But he wouldn't go in blindly and remove it--he had many hoops for me to jump through before he would remove this pesky organ. A year after my first visit--and many tests and diet changes later--I went back to see Dr. Costin. He spent quite a bit of time discussing my case, and then he told me it was time to say goodbye to my gallbladder. His office helped schedule my surgery, and just a few days ago, I had my gallbladder removed. While it's too soon to claim complete victory, I can confidently say that things are looking good so far. I had such an amazing experience with Dr. Costin, and I am incredibly thankful to him for not giving up on me like everybody else did. He saved my life.

I'm going to have to go through that prep again. I had movi prep and if you chill it and hold your breath it is tolerable.

You slightly modify your diet the week before and then the day before you are on a liquid diet, broth, apple juice and banana popsicles. Then the day of your procedure you drink more of that prep. It's doable. I held my breath. The facility itself is staffed with friendly, competent people. But not having a smaller scope is a bummer especially since the hospital they want to send me to may drop my insurance after the first of the year. And who wants to do another prep anyway. Actually 2 more preps on top of the one I had, if the colonography shows something. Why can't these things be coordinated!
