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.

THE BUCKS GI ENDOSCOPIC SURGICAL CENTER is one of the most inefficient, unprofessional medical…read moreoffices I have ever encountered. If I could give them a - 5 star review I would. I had a colonoscopy that was canceled when I arrived after doing all the preparation required. The reason given for the cancellation was that the anesthesiologist would not put me under because I told them during all of my prescreening that I was allergic to eggs, which is an ingredient of propofol. When I initially made the appointment, the receptionist said the last time I was there was in 2017; today, when they canceled, she claimed my previous appointment was in 2013. Either way, the procedure was done, and it was done without a propopal. When I initially made the appointment, I did advise them of the egg allergy. Last Friday, I called the office three times and left a message to confirm my appointment and ask a question about the unclear preparatory instructions I had received. As the assistant said, I received three voicemails, none of which canceled my procedure. The staff, a receptionist, and an anesthetist assistant insulted and blamed me because they said a message had to be left--which I have proof was not. Imagine going through the preparation and being lied to about why they canceled. I was distraught and made sure they knew I was. The excuse can be made that they were being cautious; however, I have been through other surgeries, and in all cases, when they were made aware of my allergy, another drug was used. The office is poorly run and understaffed, and I strongly suggest you not use them or cancel if you have a procedure scheduled. And yes, I formally complain to any PA Medical Boards available and willing to listen. l.

"Dr. Lim was so cool, I sort of wish we were friends (instead of him being just some guy who stared up into my abyss). & there's none of the conversational awkwardness you get from most doctors (who tend to be bad at speaking to actual people)". When you have the full examination under anesthesia, Dr. Lim's office will also mail you a stack of color photo print outs of your insides with accompanying notes so you don't have to rely on vague descriptions of what is/ isn't abnormal up in there. I brought those to the specialist he referred me to; that person said it was helpful to have clear color photos for a change. After the surgery I wound up needing, that other specialist said my whole family should also get checked, so I convinced my sister to see Dr. Lim. She loved the guy, everything about the system & the procedure they have there (everything except for the actual butt examination, I assume) and she still mentions how much she liked him.
