Everyone, from doctor to staff, was attentive, answered my questions, and treated me with respect and compassion. I appreciated the explicit prep instruction that addressed any questions I may have had. I had no problems prior to or after the procedure. As everyone always says -- the prep is worse than the procedure! Thank you for a job well done.
