Sign in went well, was not a long wait until I was called back. My nurses were nothing short of amazing! They were joking and laughing and it actually made the time in holding area comforting.Surgery was a success and post op nurses were great. There was a code blue( patient is fine) and of course I was a bit confused and still pretty out of it but my nurse was great. The whole nursing team was great! They work amazing together and HELP each other when needed! I highly recommend this facility for any of your surgical needs! I know I will be in again in November! Dr Payne is pretty great too! 😁

Great staff. Friendly and professional. This is not the kind of appointment you're really excited about. But I can promise you they try to make it a positive experience. It was nice to have a phone call the next day and then two days later to make sure I was OK. I would highly recommend this facility if you have to have an endoscopy or colonoscopy.
