I had the best experience! I have issues with anesthesia; I was very concerned. They made me feel at ease. Sean, Amanda, Dave and Dr. Deal made this a very comfortable experience. Quick and thorough. A great group of medical professionals.

Office takes forever to respond, I was told a different thing depending on who I spoke with. Doctors showed no concern for the issues I was having. Went to another practice and was shown how you should be treated and how an office should work.

I called them to schedule a colonoscopy as a new Patient. The Staff seamed nice and told me a scheduler wasn't available and it would be 1 to 3 days before I would be contacted to give them information and be scheduled. 3 days went by and nothing! Called them again on Monday and asked for the person who left me a message. while I was on the other line with their Receptionist. She is a Scheduler and is not available! Told me AGAIN 1 to 3 days before they would call me back! Today is the 3rd day and needless to say NO RETURN call again this week! Will not be using this practice!
