I scheduled my appointment and waited a month to see a doctor about a pain in my abdomen. The day before my appointment I was sent a text message saying that my appointment was cancelled because they did not accept my insurance. This information could and should have been passed on to me when I made the appointment, now I have to find another doctor and keep waiting. I never got to see their doctors or nurses but their insurance department and office staff can do better.
I had my colonoscopy performed by Dr. Joseph Herdman yesterday, August 16th, 2023. I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone involved. Michelle was great with detailing what would take place and making sure I was comfortable. Hers is the only name I am sure of. I believe Brynn and Colleen or Kathleen were the others that took care of me. They were also wonderful:) Dr. Herdman explained what he found after the colonoscopy and when I should get the results from the polyps he removed. He did an excellent job with my colonoscopy. No issues when I returned home. The person that first checked me in was wonderful too. Thanks again to everyone for your perfect service with my care. Paul S. Heimers
Everyone was very nice, polite, and competent. Thank you!

First time colonoscopy. Not gonna lie. Went in nervous. (Not very tough). Appointment and a reschedule (on my behalf) were easy and quick. Went in at 830. Picked up at 1015. Started off with 2 nurses literally dancing and singing. Making the mood light and brought down my anxiety immediately. Met the Doctor (Virk) and anesthesiologist. Both were super nice and informative. Woke up to another nurse who was friendly and kind. Walking me out to my wife and making sure I was in good hands. Thank you MLEC.
