Learn MoreExcellent Staff and Doctors. My procedure was started and completed on time and in perfect manner.
Quick in and out much like an assembly line. The prep was horrendous. And I was given the wrong instructions so it was a bit confusing. It would be nice if they offered more than water after. At least some peanut butter and crackers. I was starving and dizzy. Dr. Epstein is great
Staff was kind, facility was nice, Dr. put me at ease, nurses and other staff were calming, knowledgeable and efficient.
