Take the first AM appnt possible, make it easier for the prep. From check-in to inspection room no more than 30 minutes. After inspection about 15 minutes for anesthesia to wear off, back home in no time. Super nice staff, nurses, and docs. Glad only need every 5 years, but people there worth seeing more often.

Since it was my first time ever going under, I was somewhat nervous but after my arrival I was reassured that the process would be smooth and over before I knew it. Everyone involved were nice, friendly and very knowledgeable. It was a very comfortable and relaxing experience.

Just everyone was awesome. I even messed up my appointment by 1 month. The receptionist felt sorry for me and found the appointment that very day. Thank you so much.

Prevent Reflux with a GERD-friendly Thanksgiving Diet
Thanksgiving is probably the most anticipated meal of the year, but it can cause discomfort for people who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD.
Dr Tatel and staff at Michigan Endoscopy Center was great! I didn't have any lasting pain just very mild discomfort for about a day . No major digestive issues after the procedure. The prep went smoothly and I was still able to take in the same amount of macros on the clear liquid diet. I used clear isopure whey protein drink, bone broth for protein. Apple juice for carbs. And put olive oil in my bone broth for fats. So I wasn't starving. Everything went very smoothly and I had no headaches or side effects from the anesthesia.
