From the moment of check in, to when I left, the staff was great. The nurse had a hard time getting my IV in, and she understood when I became uncomfortable and wanted a different nurse, who got it on the first try. I appreciated them not giving me a hard time about that! Everyone was professional and kind and I felt comfortable with an uncomfortable experience. I mean, who wants to get a colonoscopy! I highly recommend this business.
