Like most people, I was a little nervous and not looking forward to having an endoscopy and my first colonoscopy.
From the moment I walked through the door, I was treated with kindness and understanding. Every staff member that I encountered, from the lady who checked me in, to the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and Dr Schmidt, were all top notch. They made me feel at ease and did everything in their power to alleviate any fears that I had.
Nobody *WANTS* a colonoscopy, but everyone *NEEDS* a colonoscopy. Don't let fear stand in your way. Let the staff know if you have any particular worries and they will help you as much as they can.
I had an endoscopy done somewhere else several years ago and the difference between that place and Scopes is massive. Scopes will be my go-to place for endoscopy/colonoscopy from now on. read more
