This was my first experience at Digestive Health Center. All staff members I interacted with were pleasant and friendly. I am always nervous about IV insertion because in the past in other situations, it has not been a pleasant moment, but Alice was quick and efficient. I was surprised it was so easy . As good as this type of test can be.
