Loved Dr. Esber and his entire staff. So nice and comforting. Today I can’t even imagine why I was so nervous. See you in 7 years!

Excellent care. The center is very well run and all the people that I encountered were very nice from the time I came in to the time I left. The people made you feel like you were their only patient. I know everybody told me their names but in the state that I was in I forgot their names but everybody was very helpful in the procedure. The doctor was very nice and came in after the procedure to tell you the results, which help in understanding the results. The procedure that I had was a colonoscopy.

Excellent treatment by everyone from the check in till Discharge. I felt that I was in great hands all the while I was there. Look forward to the next time I need tested. But not looking forward to the prep work! Ed
