    I had the best experience in my first colonoscopy! Staff was friendly, professional and busy! I was…read morelate! My fault. They still took me. Be there an hour before your procedure, they tell you that but I didn't. No I'm not posting a pic

    I'm very disappointed with the scheduling/customer service experience my mother has had with this…read moreoffice. Her provider recently sent a referral for a colonoscopy. Since she is a new patient, she is not yet set up in the patient portal, so she has had to call the office to schedule her appointment. She has tried every day for the past week to reach someone. She has spent long periods of time on hold and even requested a callback when prompted by the recording, but no one ever called her back. As I write this review, I have personally been on hold for over two hours. The recording originally stated that the estimated wait time was approximately 60 minutes. I completely understand that the office may be extremely busy, but waiting more than two hours and not receiving a promised callback is extremely frustrating and, in my opinion, unacceptable. I want to be clear that this review is not a reflection of the providers. My husband has been a patient here for many years and has seen both a provider and PA, and we have always been very happy with their care. They have been wonderful, professional, and caring. My concern is specifically with the customer service representatives, scheduling process, callback system, and excessive hold times. I hope the office will take this feedback seriously and address these issues so patients can actually reach someone when they need to schedule care. For that reason, I am giving 1 star for the scheduling/customer service experience, not for the quality of the providers.

    I'm in my late sixties and I finally got my 1st Colonoscopy (almost a big mistake for waiting so…read morelong) and boy am I glad I did. They found and removed Three(3) polyps which prevented some serious future issues. Dr Daniel Bujanda and his team could not have made this experience any better, from start to finish they were nothing but polite, knowledgable and professional and having this done is a big relief. This was a very quick & simple process and I strongly recommend that if you haven't already gotten a Colonoscopy, Get-it-Done !!!

    The waiting room is made hideous by a "mandatory" loud television on some channel that runs…read moreconstant ads and laugh tracks and other irritating content. Apparently this is "because of HIPAA to keep people from overhearing things". They've seemingly never heard of white noise maskers or even just music. They do have a "quiet room" that only accommodates one person at a time so the odds of being able to use it at this very busy practice are poor at best. Since they demand that patients' drivers remain in the building throughout the procedure you can count on a long miserable noisy ordeal that will leave you in a bad mood and unable to objectively assess the quality of the professionals' work as well as the experience in general.

    TO: TANYA BRNDZIA Deeply Disappointed by Lack of Compassion…read moreand Professionalism I brought my daughter in to be seen, and while she initially did well--greeting staff and sitting calmly--that shifted the moment the NP approached her. My daughter is autistic and, like many neurodivergent children, can become overwhelmed with unfamiliar or abrupt interactions. Instead of approaching the situation with patience or understanding, the doctor said, "If you can't control your child, I don't have time." Let me be clear: 1. My daughter has special needs, and regulating a child like her takes time and skill--not impatience and judgment. 2. There's a reason these appointments are scheduled--to meet the patient where they are and provide care accordingly. 3. The comment was not only unprofessional, but extremely insensitive, especially coming from someone who chose a career in providing care To others. TRULY DISAPPOINTED & DISGUSTED.

Well two days comes by i go to work i have another fever. So i go back tell them I was feeling worse &' I got tested again. I waited for 2 &' A HALF hours just for them to tell me they don't know what's wrong with me, so they gave me a Throat culture &' i wasn't supposed to receive the test results until Friday supposedly. they sent me home with nothing &' just told me to take ibuprofen &' tylenol. I couldn't wait till friday so I had went somewhere else to get checked &' turns out I had MULTIPLE things wrong with me including pneumonia. Friday passed &' Next care never gave me my tests results. The doctors here suck.
