Question: What is more excruciatingly painful than warm, dense fecal matter scraping across exposed…read moreand bleeding muscle fibers, as it makes its way to the sea? Answer: Nothing that I've ever felt! (although that time they fished the bladder-bound tube up my urethra came a close second... Mommy!) Well, I was in the market for a skilled proctologist / rectal surgeon. Dr Larson came with high recommendations, so I booked an appointment with him. Things weren't too bad at this point. Upon initial introductions, I found him to be a mild mannered gentleman, with a calm demeanor, and a penchant for buggery. Well, strike the buggery comment. He was the wise, kind, older uncle you had as a child. I tell ya, rolling over on the exam table, and letting him spread apart my cheeks brought me back to my childhood thanksgivings. I could almost smell mom's liver pate stuffing with gorgonzola. Oh wait... that's me! After the exam, Dr Larson gave me two options. The first being surgery, and the second, being a numbing ointment, which was meant to promote healing. I chose the latter. My mistake. Let me tell you about 'finger cots'. They are little condoms for your fingers. No, not as thick as a rubber thimble the accountants used to use, but thin, like sheepskin, but they are latex. As I endured the two weeks of safe sex with my fore-finger, as it was slathered with the ointment, my problem down below was worsening. So much so, that I imposed myself on a strict liquid diet, in order to minimize the traffic. Imagine an impish Leprechaun holding a lit match to your dumpster slot, and every time you turn around to backhand him, he disappears, only to reappear behind you doing it all over again. Now imagine he has the stamina to keep that up for 2... 3... or 12 hours at a time. That's right about when I came down with a case of Tourrettes. I yelled out with every burning or stabbing sensation. Pretty sure I came up with new grammatical combinations.That's the kind of stuff the neighbor kids will be talking about for years to come. Anyways, I met with the doctor again, and upon his second invasive exam, he noticed the exposed muscle fibers, and commented on how painful my potty time must be. This time, I opted for the 'sew & scope'. We scheduled a surgery date, which gave me six days to take care of my arrangements. I secured a ride to and from the hospital, updated my will, and completed my pre-op paperwork with the hospital staff. The day before surgery... hours before I started my final preparations, I get a call from the surgeon's office. Seems that Mrs Larson failed to inform the staff that the good doctor would be on an airplane jetting off somewhere, at the exact same time as my scheduled surgery. We would have to reschedule. I puckered. It would be six more days until Doctor Larson's skilled digits would be fishing a threaded needle through various areas of my rectum. Yes, six more days of the Ensure liquid diet. Six grueling days of trying to ebb the flow of solid waste. I made it to day five, before erupting. Oh, and how I erupted! It was a current of explicatives and the excrement. Oh, but this time I was ready. Comfort came in the form of three Tylenol PM, two NyQuil and a pint of Guinness. I made it to surgery, and am alive to tell the tale. They packed me pretty good that day, which gave me the opportunity to un-pack myself. How many of you can say the same? That was seven weeks ago, and although I'm still seeing the doctor every couple of weeks to promote total healing, I'd call this a success.

I posted a review of this Arizona Preferred Surgeons & Dr. McClary, 2+ years ago. And still today,…read moreI have nothing but the utmost respect for ALL the surgeons within this practice. As well as the staff. They all mean the world to me. They saved my life (more than once) in so many ways. Not just with my health, but the emotional overcoming of what I experienced. They have ALL (from front desk to MA's, to PA's, NP's, Surgeon's, Office Manager, etc.) touched my life and my family's life. I am a 36 year old wife with four beautiful children. My two oldest (daughter & son) are old enough to remember the "me" I was before all the surgeries and hospital stays. Which I spent more time in the hospital than I did at home. The older two children can remember every moment of every scary experience. Even one's that I myself am unable to remember. But my two littles, (daughters), don't remember the days that mama was able to hold them and sing to them, and do any & EVERYTHING with them. They don't know their mom who wasn't sick. But they are all four just amazing human beings. My husband had to go from being the fun dad to being the "do it all" daddy. And he's been wonderful about it. I still need to have a few more procedures and haven't been doing well lately. And there is not another surgical office that I would trust with my life, than this office. I'm a high-risk patient, and Dr. McClary is my most trusted surgeon and human being in general for my complications. But I have had the pleasure of seeing all the physicians within this practice. And I would recommend ANY & ALL of them! My anatomy is just a bit different than others lol! And Dr. McClary has been there from the start of me becoming a higher risk patient. Thank you to all who have read this, if you made it this far ! And thank you to Dr. McClary, along with THE entire staff! Everyone! Thank you, thank you!

Appointment goes OK - DOCTOR IS GREAT. Incomplete orders to medical facility. No pain meds @ Rx - another follow-up. Another call to schedule follow-up appointment - forgot to schedule. Unsure if this is "in play" here, but more and more medical practices are nothing more than shells macerating for some conglomerate. Doctors are employees without any ownership or oversight for the staff. Staff turnover is horrific with least cost apparent. There is a valley urology multi-location practice than worse than this. But my opinion a race to the bottom.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with the Colon and Rectal Center of Arizona, and…read moreunfortunately, it was because of the front desk staff--not the medical care. The front office staff was consistently rude, dismissive, and lacked compassion. They spoke to me as if my questions were stupid instead of taking the time to help. When you call the office, no one ever answers the phone. I've left multiple voicemails and never received a return call, which is incredibly frustrating when you're trying to get answers about your care. My initial appointment was the worst part of my experience. I arrived 50 minutes early to make sure I had plenty of time to complete any paperwork. I was told I had to provide a written list of my medications. Since I didn't have one with me, I offered several reasonable solutions. I asked if I could call my doctor's office and have them fax the medication list, call my doctor's office to get the names over the phone, or even log into my pharmacy app to retrieve my medication names and dosages. Every single option was immediately dismissed without any attempt to work with me. Instead, I was told I had to reschedule my appointment simply because I didn't already have the list in my hand. Considering I was there 50 minutes before my appointment, there was more than enough time to obtain the information. Rather than trying to help, the staff seemed more interested in turning me away. I've never encountered such an unhelpful and unfriendly front office at a medical practice. Patients come to this office because they need medical care and are often in a vulnerable position. The first people they interact with should treat them with kindness, patience, and respect. This office should seriously consider retraining its front desk staff on customer service, communication, and compassion. They are the first impression of the practice, and right now they are leaving a very negative one. If this is the level of service the practice considers acceptable, it reflects poorly on the entire organization, including its leadership and physicians. Patients deserve to be treated with dignity, and this office has a lot of work to do to earn that trust.

Worst staff experience with this "group."…read more I spent a great deal of time researching and trying to find the best doctor for the very specialized procedure I needed. Unfortunately, the staff for Dr. Singh - particularly Lisa - ultimately prevented me from even having the opportunity to choose or speak with the doctor I wanted to use. They scheduled an appointment online, which I showed up for, only to discover it had been canceled without any phone call, email, or message. I was then essentially told I could not choose the surgeon I preferred, even though only a limited number of doctors specialize in this type of surgery. I will now also be canceling my follow-up appointment with Dr. Pandy. The staff at both locations has been atrocious, and the overall experience has been extremely frustrating, unprofessional, and disappointing. Because of the way this situation was handled and the "group" policy they enforced, I would not recommend this practice.

I have never had a care provider be so obviously annoyed at seeing her own patients…read more I was 30 mins early for my appointment and waited over an hour to be seen. No one in the office even acknowledged it! When I got to the exam room, the doctor had asked me to pull down my pants with her watching. This was weird to me and gave me pause. Dr. McConnell was apparently annoyed at this because then she herself, grabbed the waistband of my pants and started tugging to pull them off, so hard that I almost fell off the exam table. I've never had a provider do this to me. To stay in the room and not provide a cover or gown was distressing enough but when the Dr tugged on my pants I shut down. She proceeded to tell me all about the procedure she was recommending, I asked her about how far out she was scheduling and she rolled her eyes and said, "talk to my staff." At check out I was told I would be able to schedule in the office for the procedure. I was living in extreme pain every single day and I had already waited a month for the consult. We scheduled the procedure for two weeks out, which was a really long time to wait in agony. She did not call in any medications. She did not give any directions. The day before surgery they called me and cancelled my procedure and told me I didn't meet the requirements to use their facility after all. I pleaded with the nurse about how I was living in excruciating pain and all she said was,"I don't make the rules." Dr. McConnell was cold, disrespectful, unprofessional and unwilling to provide any pain medication after surgery. Doctors and surgeons have a duty to provide pain relief after a procedure, to dismiss and belittle pain and suffering is not being a good care provider! The behavior of her staff I also found unacceptable and rude. It's easy to apologize for running behind on appointments. It's easy to have empathy when you hear a patient is in pain. I have been a veterinary nurse for 10+ years, I can't imagine being so heartless if a patient was suffering or in pain. We treat dogs better than I got treated here! I found a great surgeon that did my procedure, treated me with compassion like a human being, AND provided pain relief!!! All in 3 days after they cancelled on me last minute! What a concept!

She helped inform me of the various bills I could expect and helped me move the charges to cash pay and setup a payment plan. I don't know if my expectations are reasonable but an initial bill of $14k for about an hour of service(there was also lab work) seems outrageous to me but maybe this is just the norm? Also, the bill came down considerably when they negotiated with the insurance company and then moving to cash pay(thanks to Shayna) brought it down more. I guess I expected when I provided my insurance information weeks ahead of time they would have let me know what to expect, that is I would be responsible for 100% of the charges and to share the bill I could expect...

As it turns out, the offices were closed but he was there working on charts, and offered that we come in. I was astounded, we weren't even established patients with the practice and he was willing to take the time to see us last minute - we were told to come right in.
