Highly recommend. Made to feel welcome, kept comfortable, not just a number or the next patient. This is coming from a RN of 40 years of working ...

Incidence of CRC Increasing in Younger Patients
A recent study conducted by AMSURG and researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai shows an increase in early-onset colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps in patients younger than 50.
At age 73 this was my first colonoscopy after a home test result that came back positive for possible cancer. The staff here is great and super efficient, very friendly too. Everything happened in a very timely manner with minimal waiting. After the procedure, which was totally painless as I slept through it, I was released with a complete report of what Doctor Brown found. I got a clean bill of health and even pictures to prove it. I highly recommend this endoscopy center without hesitation.
