Those of us who have lived long enough to arrive at the point where we have to submit to medical…read moretests that literally leave us with our pants down and our bottoms up, know the indignities and discomfort of that most anxiety provoking procedure - the colonoscopy. Little can be done to make the preparation and actual event more palatable, but at least it can be simplified and made more humane with understanding of the emotional aspects of the test, and the physical challenges associated with drinking copious amounts of vile tasting fluids, a mandatory clear liquid diet for 36 hours before the operation, and the totally unpleasant process of emptying the lower gastrointestinal tract. Ugh! Gastroenterology Group at St. Mary Medical Center does it as well as possible. They invite you to their office weeks in advance to review the process in detail. Many pages of easy to understand instructions are provided. They record insurance information, and even offer samples of the preparation meds if the patient lacks coverage for this cost. On the designated day, when the effect of starvation and voiding is at max effect, their staff is courteous and compassionate in getting the patient ready for general anesthesia and the procedure itself. Everyone was skilled, patient and trained in low key interaction. From getting into those damn surgical gowns, to setting the intravenous lines in the arm, to nestling the pillow comfortably under the head/neck as you fall asleep, to the gentle wake up back in your personal space with juice and crackers, the flow is smooth and relaxed. That Dr. Barash advised I would likely have to return in five years for another scope almost seemed an afterthought.

I purchased the $40 Colonoscopy Prep kit that Hillmont makes available. I then had to cancel the…read moreColonoscopy because my Cardiologist required that I have the procedure at a hospital based facility. Hillmont is associated with Chestnut Hill Hospital where I have had unsatisfactory experiences so I went ahead and scheduled elsewhere. The kit is not returnable per Hillmont. The prep instructions for the hospital where I am having the procedure appear pretty much the same as Hillmont's. When I called Hillmont they refused to answer the few questions I had about the kit which would have helped me to decide whether to go ahead and use their prep kit. They insisted that since I cancelled the appointment there they would not answer any questions specific to the product they sold me. They also confirmed it could not be returned. The Hillmont person on the phone was extremely unpleasant.

Dr. Elbaum provides the unusual degree of perfection I now require, and I appreciate it. Doctor Elbaum was recommended to me by my wife, following his assistance during surgery when my wife had an ulcer perforate while I was lying minimally conscious in Acute Stroke Rehab at Spring Ridge (stroke is a scary thing). I don't know how my 10 day coma affected my wife of 52 years... I was in a coma. But life goes on, still, stroke survivors need especially good care; my Sweetheart of 58 years is largely responsible for me having love of life and the persistence to get stronger every day. God bless the U.S.A. which has the best health care in the world; there is only one country that millionnaires travel to for health care - America.

My appointment with Dr. Gordon was the worst experience I have ever had as a patient. My experience…read morewas the epitome of women's concerns and pain and not taken seriously in today's healthcare system. I tried to advocate for myself as the visit went on however he doubled down minimizing the symptoms I was describing and dismissing my concerns. It was to the point that I didn't want to return for a follow up visiting thinking maybe this all was in my head. During our visit he mentioned at least three times that he is a "board certified gastroenterologist." He should be embarrassed by the way he flaunts his education without providing the bare minimum in patient care. I have since seen a different provider in the practice who was wonderful- she listened and gave all my concerns careful consideration and validated how I was feeling. I will never go back to see Dr. Gordon and I will continue to encourage any family member or person I encounter to avoid him.

Colorectal cancer is the fifth most common form of cancer, and it is generally detectable with…read moreappropriate exams such as a fecal occult blood test, a digital rectal exam (DRE) or a colonoscopy at appropriate intervals. Unfortunately many people are reluctant to have these tests - even if they have good insurance. See your physician to determine your risk and get the necessary exams. Once you know you need a colonoscopy, use your insurance tools to understand the range of pricing across providers - it can be substantial. I've had 2 diagnostic colonoscopies at Bux-Mont gastroenterology associates and the endoscopy center over the last five years. In both cases, the experience was outstanding. The staff is effective and efficient. They take the time to explain the procedures, help you understand what your insurance covers, and works with you to select the best options. The staff is kind and caring. The office is efficient. Their offices prescribe the most current 'preps' were gentle but effective; the staff makes sure you understand the steps in advance. I've had procedures with two different physicians - Dr. Kearney and Dr. Burke and they were both excellent. If you live in Bux-Mont's service area, I highly recommend you consider them for your diagnostic procedures! You'll be glad you did. In both of my exams, they found and took care of a few things that shouldn't be there - and if I had not been on top of this - I could be a statistic. Don't become one yourself. Talk to your physician...and then get over to Bux-Mont Gasteroenterology if you need services they provide!

What's with these bad reviews??? I had a screening today and I arrived bright and early at 6:45 am. The staff was AMAZING!!! Everyone from the front desk, the nurse ugh I'm so sorry I have forgotten her name but she was brunette and was working 12/21 early morning, sweet Emily, the attending nurse anesthesiologist, Dr Basile, and Dr Rock who handled my screening. The first person I encountered was a kind lady who guided me through the paperwork which they've really simplified. Another man was reporting to work and he was jovial and welcomed us too with a big friendly hello. He had a pony tail and I didn't encounter him after that during my visit. There is so much positive energy in the center it's bouncing off the walls and the staff is top notch and I do mean everyone. No room for negativity! I was scared to death because this was my first colonoscopy. Everyone was so kind, especially Vicki she was so reassuring to me and I really needed that. She was a kind friendly warm face who reassured me and I was thankful. The hardest part was being apprehensive about the procedure. Once I was wheeled into the endoscopy suite I fell asleep and it was all over. I woke up thinking I was at home. I was discharged quickly after. I was surprised at how fast I was on my way home. My only complaint was the coffee lol! It could strip paint of the walls . Hey though your health is what they're concerned with and not a vanilla cappa latte "bull shit" drink - in the words of the fabulous Larry David. Please give this worthy group a try if you need your screening. Get your screening it could SAVE YOUR LIFE!! You're WORTH IT!! This group is saving lives every day!! My husband has had several drs at the same group and we are highly pleased. Still time to get your screening before 12/31! Maybe- if there are appointments available. Good Luck and Godspeed. You have to be your own health care advocate.
