    This place is straight fraudulent. I asked at the pre scheduled screening ($300 co-pay). I went…read moreinto billing office and asked the lady the total cost and she ran my insurance. She replied after they ran my insurance and said "at the most $1650 after insurance". Got the bill and called back wondering why the cost was now $2400 and nothing xtra was done. What's the point in asking cost if they fraudulently can charge you whatever they want after colonoscopy. Thats $2700 total after co pay and service.. far cry from $1650.

    I've had a number of positive experiences with individual providers. I understood waiting for a…read moreroutine colonoscopy after the pandemic, the delay in scheduling, none of that caused me concern. Last year I was referred for a endoscope by my primary, met with a provider who was lovely and felt an endoscope was necessary due to my symptoms and test results to that point. She scheduled the procedure, while I was on the table about to be sedated I was rudely interrogated by the doctor doing the procedure. He repeatedly asked me why I was there, rapid fire questions about my medical history. I have complex medical and incomplete family history- I told him that and asked that he stop questioning me and do the procedure. I was not there by choice- no patient can schedule this - so many layers of doctors led me to this table. I finally stated "I am sorry that I am unable to answer your questions now, I have..." disclosed mental health issues and he still mansplained why I should not be there. He did the procedure and I followed up with a lovely provider upstairs. I since saw a notation in my chart of medication that was incorrect and led him to invalidate the need for me to have the procedure- the error on their part should not give a doctor the right to verbally abuse someone on their procedure table. This is not a trauma-informed facility and I will not return for services because of the way I was treated as a human.
