Learn MoreHad my 1st procedure & 1st visit to this location recently. Dr. Barbarevech and his team were so kind, professional and did a great job informing me on all the details and every step of the procedure. Kept me at ease the entire time.
I had my 5 year procedure today at the center. Dr Patel and his entire staff from the sweet woman who checked me in, to the nurse that took my information and also the nurse that gave me my iv. Everyone could not of been kinder , respectful and professional . Anyone who is dreaded the colonoscopy fear no more . It is easy fast and then you have a piece of mind. Thanks Again . Schelly K
Been going here for years. Never had a problem. Dr Barbarevech has been my husbands and my Dr from day one. Can't say enough about him. Takes time to explain every question you have. And all the staff are very friendly,from receptionist to everyone in procedure room.
The doctor was respectful and therapeutic. The initial nurse who monitored my vital signs, reviewed my information, and discontinued my IV was rude and abrasive. She was rough when removing IV (first time I actually ever yelled when IV discontinued), and tossed my discharge papers on a chair so they fell to the floor becoming contaminated. When I asked about disinfecting spray so papers could be decontaminated, she told me "there's none", and handed me contaminated papers. I've had procedures at this Center in past, and have not had problems with rudeness.

Humiliating experience. Followed all instructions and when I wasn't correctly prepped they blamed me and told me I should have called. At 4am? When you told me to take it? I won't get into how extremely awful and humiliating this experience was but please go elsewhere if you can. Whatever doctor I had stared at the ceiling while speaking with me, didn't listen to a word I said and mumbled something about diverticulitis while my paperwork reflected nothing of what he spoke about. I've had bad experiences in the ER before but this experience was appalling....all of these 1 star reviews are here for a reason. Avoid.
