"I have never had a colonoscopy before, but this was as painless as I could possibly have expected. Prep is horrid, but no way around that - grin and bear it!! Dr Seetharam is kind, gentle, and explained everything completely. Once I got to the office the day of the procedure, my concerns faded away. Everyone was so nice and put me at ease. The wait was minimal to get on with the procedure. I wasn't left alone, and was told what the steps were. I saw Dr Seetharam briefly before I was out like a light! I came out of the anesthesia quickly, and glad to have it over! I highly recommend Dr Seetharam and his staff!"
"Fantastic Doctors and staff! They go that extra step in dealing with your care! Thanks to that, I was in for my 1st office visit 8 years ago, and instead of going forward with a colonoscopy, Shauna admitted me to Banner with Stage IV ovarian cancer! Yes, I did get my colonoscopy, eventually. An easy process!"
"Dr. Hauptman is a friendly and pleasant doctor who has performed my routine colonoscopy for the past 10 years. He is attentive and professional. Highly recommend."
"Dr Patel and staff were very helpful. Dr Patel took his time to explain everything before and after my colonoscopy."
"I thought dr. Shifat was one of the friendliest, most personable doctors I have met. It was my first time discussing a colonoscopy, and he was very thorough and I never felt rushed. This is the type of tender care all doctors should provide."
"Dr. Schwartz is the BEST. Very clear explanation of the colonoscopy procedure at his office, and very clear explanation with photos after the procedure."
"Great consultation about the colonoscopy procedure. Will update my review once my procedure is complete."
"Even though a colonoscopy is not the most enjoyable thing to have done, I would recommend Dr. Randolph and his staff to do it . They were there for you from appointment, prep, procedure,through check out. Also follow up the next day. The staff stayed in touch from beginning to end for any questions and to check that all went well . Staff was very professional, friendly, and strived to keep you comfortable."
"Dr Kothur is very knowledgeable and pleasant! I am at ease 100 percent when I come in for a colonoscopy!"
"Great prep care & totally painless colonoscopy. Before-during & after. To be honest my memory is hazy after I met Dr. Vulcano in the procedure room. But I had no issues before or after. So two đđ"
"Dr Hutchinson was very nice very professional informative but it all boiled down to getting the tests the endoscopy and colonoscopy which I was very disappointed in the fact that I could not get in until September which is a 3-month wait and he knew how very anxious I was about being afraid that I had cancer or some other horrible disease and I was extremely anxious other than that I would have given a five-star if not for the long wait."
"The colonoscopy procedure was performed to perfection and the staff was comforting and attentive. As usual, there were no issues after the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Meline. He is knowledgable and excellent at his job."
"My colonoscopy went very smoothly, but this survey did not ID itself as being from AZ Digestive Health so it appeared very suspicious."
"I had to schedule a last minute colonoscopy and Dr Randolph was amazing! He was very professional, had excellent bed side manner and showed genuine concern for my case and my comfort. Throughout the consult he was very knowledgeable and gave insight and recommendations as needed. I would definitely recommend Dr Randolph to anyone!"
"If you HAVE to have a Colonoscopy, this is the place to go! Caring, reassuring staff and wonderful doctors."
"What can be great about going for your pre-colonoscopy appointment? At least Dr. Stein and his staff make it bearable. They are pleasant and thorough and answer your questions."
"Dr Gelzayd has a wonderful bedside manner. He follows thru with kindness and patience. Everyone from start to finish during my colonoscopy were professional, well informed and made a very unpleasant procedure tolerable somehow. I must âshout outâ to Dr. Gelzayd s anesthesiologist, Dr. Zencka. She was wonderful and put me at ease. Not only beautiful, but EXTREMELY competent. Although not on my top 10 list of enjoyable duties, I will not dread my 5 year check up⌠If more doctors would follow Dr. Gelzayd and Dr. Zenckas efforts I truly believe more lives would be saved. Thanks again Doctors and staff. See you in 5 years!"
"Dr. Meline and his staff are great. He listens and I am taken care of well. I have been with Dr. Meline for over 30 years and unless he retires I'm not going anywhere else. He uses the latest prep methods so it is so easy to do if you have a colonoscopy."
"After a CT scan I needed to see a GI specialist. A friend told me he loves Dr Drewitts and highly recommended him. On short notice the office got me scheduled with a terrific Nurse Practitioner and we agreed a colonoscopy and endoscopy were needed due to on going belly pain and other factors. Highly recommend this team!!"
"I was pleased with the visit to Chandler Endoscopy for a colonoscopy. I had Dr Nguyenduc (for the first time). I was very pleased with him and felt very informed of the procedure. He and all of the staff I dealt with were very professional and exactly what I look for when dealing with medical professionals. All went exactly as stated and I have no complaints what-so-ever. I would recommend Dr. Nguyenduc and Chandler Endoscopy."
"I had an issue after my colonoscopy. Dr Shaughnessy called me and made arrangements at Banner University for tests. That night he reached out to see how I was doing. As it turned out I have a pre-existing gallbladder issue. Dr Shaughnessy is awesome. Very caring."
"If I could give him 10 stars I would. Iâve had this condition since 2017. Within 30 seconds of me explaining what was happening he pulled up the exact situation with a picture showing it on his computer. He is totally professional, yet friendly and kind. I get annual checkups regularly. I see my doctor (Dr. Saul Amber, who referred me to him. He even called him on his personal phone and told him he was sending me over.) at the first sign of anything I get checked. I had a colonoscopy done in the same facility as his office. I am 76 and in all my years of having procedures done, I have Never been so impressed with it!!! It ran like a well tuned clockwork."
"Dr. Chockshi has excellent bed manners as well as a great colonoscopy staff. He and them make you at ease and you come awake smiling"
"Dr Lam and her staff were excellent during my colonoscopy. A special shout out to nurses, Sam, Tammy, Tamra?, there was the nurse that administer the "sleep medicine" and the nurse in recovery. I'm sure they told me there names, I just don't remember. Thanks for your kindness when I shed a few tears."
"This will be my procedure with Dr. Meline. I was extremely satisfied with the procedure, the professionalism, and the care provided by his staff and himself back in 2019. I am having another procedure next week and he thoroughly explained all that was done prior, the risks involved, the steps we are taking to ensure that I am able to keep my colon cancer free. While the day before is not fun, the juice is worth the squeeze. And remember, you can have your colon colonoscopy checked at age 45, not 50 like the insurance companies like to preach. Vic Houze Jr"
"It was a good experience I don't care much for colonoscopys. But felt safe and secure with Doctor Hauptman. HE'S very professional and caring. Has a good bedside manner.His staff is great Rhonda my nurse was very professional. Did a great job putting in my IV cuz I'm a hard stick. I will be going back in a year to get another colonoscopy with Dr Hauptman."
"Dr. Ratuapli and his staff are super kind, gentle, and professional. I was super nervous about getting a colonoscopy. The nurse named April called me to schedule my appointment. She heard my anxiety over the phone and she was intentional about letting me know things will be okay. My experience going in was pleasant with every team member. All the nurses were great. The anesthesiologist, Derrick was super great. He has the greatest smile ;). I greatly appreciated Dr. Ratuapli coming out before the procedure and letting me know what will happen step-by-step. The recovery staff was just as graceful. I highly recommend this team for digestive work anytime. This is a team that not only says they care, they show it. Thank you all Y. J."
"Dr. Schwartz performed my most recent colonoscopyâthe third one since I turned 50. He undertook the procedure at the Arizona Endoscopy Center. My experience was unmatched in patient care, ease, and service. The Center was well-run, efficient, pleasant, and well-staffed. The people were incredible in making the procedure as pleasant as possible. And Dr. Schwartz was by far the best doctor to scope me! I unconditionally recommend him and the Center."
"âI personally thank you and your entire staff for the excellent care received during my Colonoscopy and Endoscopy procedure. Especially âMy experience with Dr. Nayan Patel was beyond my belief. He is very caring friendly as well as professional in dealing with patients, above all i felt like i am dealing with one of my family member. âDoctor Care is awesome! I am extremely satisfied with both the procedures. He is the best doctor i ever came across. i greatly appreciate from the bottom of my heart. Shradhanand Swamy"
"Ramkrishna R. Kothur is a gastroenterologist in Sun City, Arizona and is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including Banner Thunderbird Medical. Dr. Kothur has over 20-years experience in the gastrointestinal field, and one of the things that I really liked about him and his practice, is while he is able to perform procedures in Banner Thunderbird Hospital, he is also able to perform straightforward procedures like my colonoscopy in the surgery and recovery rooms within their offices⌠I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a great gastrointestinal doctor đ¨ââď¸ to provide relief from digestive disorders, such as stomach pain, ulcers, reflux, constipation and Crohn's disease."
"Dr. Chockshi has excellent bed manners as well as a great colonoscopy staff. He and them make you at ease and you come awake smiling"
"When I found out I had to have a colonoscopy, after I just had one in Dec 2019, in Las Vegas. I honestly thought about going back to Las Vegas. My Doctor and his crew treated me so well there in Vegas, it seems thatâs where my confidence lied. Iâm so glad I didnât go to those measures, and found another super crew 15 min from my drive way. My wife and I have nothing but praises for Dr Chokshi and his entire crew at Arizona Digestive Health - Peoria, AZ. Thanks guysâŚsee you in three yearsđ"

"First time ever to get a colonoscopy. Dr. Mills and staff were absolutely AMAZING!! Dr. Mills comes to talk to you before the procedure to let you everything that will be done and asks you if you have any questions. He doesnât leave until you feel comfortable. His nurses and in-take staff were so compassionate. My daughter is the one who took me and she said they were very informative when they came to get her in the waiting room. I would highly recommend Dr. Mills and his staff for your next colonoscopy. I hope in the next 10 years they come up with a better medicine that clears you out before the procedure!!"

"I saw Dr. Kanner on a Monday, and had my Colonoscopy on Wednesday. My experience was wonderful. Everyone was kind and gentle. I felt calm, and my procedure went well."
"I have been taking my special needs son to Dr. Umar for a year and a half now. We have a family history of colon cancer so my son needed a colonoscopy at only 20 years old and Dr. Umar agreed and made it happen with insurance coverage. Then my son started having GI problems a year later likely due to EDS and Dr. Umar's MA got him in quickly specifically to Dr. Umar. He is all about patient comfort and what is realistic for the patient, down to earth, no ego (but is phenomenal), genuinely cares, no long waits, explains everything. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone!"
"Dr. Melina is terrific, personable, and I felt totally safe. It was a great experience. His staff, every single one, is professional, kind, helpful and top of the line in every way. Do yourself a favor, get a colonoscopy and save your life, secondly do it at this office. You deserve the best."
"The process was much simpler than I expected. The worse part was essentially staying up all night to take the polypropylene glycol every 15 minutes. When I checked in, the process and people made the rest very easy. Even the IV insertion was much easier than expected. Each medical person associated with the colonoscopy came over and introduced themselves and explained what there role was, including the doctor! When I came out of the anesthetic, I was well attended, got results from the doctor immediately. Not rushed, just expedient. The results were sent to my primary care physician within a couple of hours of the exam. Fast, efficient, professional, and friendly. Very caring team of professionals."
"I have been going to Dr Patel for at least 10+ years for my GI needs from EGDâs to Colonoscopyâs.. Iâve always been well taken of and been made to feel comfortable. Him and his staff are kind and caring. Iâm so glad I was referred to him years ago!!"
"Very detailed explaining the exact issues of procedures that will be performed . A detailed issue? I'm having my 2nd colonoscopy.. what's so special"
"I can not express enough gratitude to Dr Honan for so kindly helping me when I was in a difficult situation. If you ever had a colonoscopy, you know the worse part of it is the prep. I did everything that was required and didn't drink any water after midnight. I arrived 45 minutes as directed for my 12:30pm appt to find out that I was scheduled the following day!! (My mistake totally. I misread the date!) I asked if any the doctor's at the center who could possibly do it. My doctor called on my behalf as well and Dr Honan graciously made time in his schedule to have the procedure done. He throughly reviewed my chart, asked me questions to clarify parts of my medical history and explained the procedure. Afterwards, he went over his findings. If permitted by their practice, I will use him as my doctor. I will always remember his professionalism and going out of his way to help."

He was polite, courteous, professional and offered his honest opinion about my medical condition. He was efficient in planning out next steps and scheduling a colonoscopy. I would recommend him 100%."

His staff made me feel like the star of the HOLE SHOW! Thank you front desk, Angelđ, Susan , Jamesđđ˝, Dr Perryđ¤¤, and again Dr MelineđŠ Iâll be back as soon as possible đ¤"
"Itâs truly my 1st experience ever, as long as you follow the steps , pay close attention to what youâre supposed to do , YOU CAN insure a safe and speedy colonoscopy , with it being my 1st, Dr.V was very warm and compassionate, introduced himself as the chief physician who will be performing the procedure, explained everything clearly and his staff so gentle, walked me through the process completely, Afterwards, , Dr.V came to check on me post-op asked if I had any questions and just a nice human being over all. Granted , I was very scared out of my mind , not knowing what to expect; absolutely terrified , although colon cancer doesnât run in our family⌠but there is always a first. I am glad to say , I donât have to come back in another 10 yrs, but they encouraged me to take healthy steps for the next go around. And to think , when I was little , I thought Diverticulosis was a form of swimming style , I was 9yrs old at the time ,donât judge me - lol Indeed made Dr. V laugh, Rest assured you will be in the best of hands coming here đđ˝ Cheers to Dr. V and to incorporating a high fiber diet"

The staff as great, Dr. Drewitz has a great bedside manner and he explained the procedure and results clearly."
"This was my 3rd Colonoscopy with Dr Mills. My husband has had his by him too. Not exactly tge procedure you want to have but necessary! Prep is not the best experience but necessary and this time it was tolerable. I do suggest getting depends for it though...lol. the staff is great. Everyone was so nice. I rested the rest of the day and back to normal the next day. Dr Mills has done over 33,000, and counting, of these procedures. You can count on the best going to him!"
"My rourine colonoscopy experience turned out to be a very pleasant one at AZ Endo Ctr. The Dr's and staff treated me like family, from check-in to end. I will only go there future forward and highly recommend them to all that require Endo services!"

"Dr. Yalam had a fantastic attitude but recommended a colonoscopy to detect any abnormal observations to prevent future complications of the GI tract. And he listed a number complex complications that can occur."
"To date I have only registered and interviewed for two procedures scheduled for early February.

"January 12, 2023 Recently went to Dr. Hutchinson for a colonoscopy. Everyone I met was warm, caring, and sympathetic to my needs and concerns; all the nurses and anesthetist Patricia, Megan, Kerry and Tamara. My wife was surprised that Dr. Hutchinson took the time to call her after the procedure. and explained all the results. Someone from the office staff followed up with me the next day to make sure I was OK. Prep was relatively easy. I highly recommend Dr Hutchinson and his entire staff, if it's your time to proceed with a colonoscopy."
"I have had a total of 3 EGD/colonoscopy procedures in the last several years and Dr Randolph has been my choice for 2 of those.

"First time getting a colonoscopy and Dr. Labowitz made it easy for me , she's very professional in and out so quick.."
"I saw so many good reviews about Dr. Mann I knew he would be my first doctor to go to with my concerns. He is friendly and kind, just as others have stated. I told him what had been going on recently, and the concerns I have. He asked questions on my health to help him understand what we should do going forward. The appointment was pleasant and easied my mind going forward. The next day I was scheduled for a colonoscopy, and they were able to get me in within two weeks. I will update my review once my procedure is over. UPDATE colonoscopy facility was nice, all nurses and employees keep you informed the whole way through. Dr Mann let me know my results quickly after procedure and eased my mind. A colonoscopy can be scary to some, but Dr Mann is great and so is his team."
"I took my wife in to see Dr. Drewitz for a colonoscopy and he was caring and sincere, and he did a great job. He's the kind of Doctor you know will be on your side when you need him. Highly recommended."
"I have been a patient of Arizona Digestive Health for many years. During that time, I have been under the compassionate and competent care of Dr. Michael Mills,. Yesterday, I underwent an endoscopy/colonoscopy procedure at the Phoenix Endoscopy clinic, associated with Arizona Digestive Health. In true fashion, my visit was expertly coordinated and completed. Because this was not a routine scope, given that I have been symptomatic for about two months, Dr. Mills worked me in on an extremely busy clinic day in order to complete the testing before Christmas. Thank you Dr. Mills! All the staff, medical personnel, and of course, Dr. Mills, are stellar. Dr. Mills is what all doctors should aspire to being for their patients. His ability to connect with patients and show great compassion for them is truly unmatched amongst my other medical providers. Thank you Arizona Digestive Health and Phoenix Endoscopy for taking such exquisite care of me during each and every interaction!"
"Dr. Chokshi was super down to earth, kind, and compassionate. I recommend him to anyone who is nervous about that first dreaded colonoscopy. Go to someone who cares and provides reassurances, ultimately making the experience less nerve wracking! The office was easy to schedule with too. They are all organized professionals! Many thanks!!"
"I had my first appointment with Dr. Verma this past week. I had been having bowel problems for a month+. I was nervous to be seeing, yet, another doctor, a specialist. Dr. Verma has a professional and calming demeanor. He asked questions and gave reassurance of his experience when asked. He recommended a procedure and I scheduled my appointment, feeling more confident. Sat this time, I would highly recommend him. I plan to give an update review after the procedure. Update: I went for my colonoscopy at Desert Endoscopy Center where Dr.Verma performs these procedures. I had heard the horror stories of others in the past who had problems with their doctor and/or clinic procedure. It was professional, personable and organized from start to finish. The anesthesiologist even talked with me and put my mind at ease. I was very comfortable and everything went well. Dr. Verma said I wouldnât have to see him for 10 years. I even received pictures of the inside of my colon which, some of you wouldnât appreciate but they were interesting to me. I say again, I would highly recommend Dr.Verma AND Desert Endoscopy Center. Great experience!"
"I haven't had a colonoscopy in long time. I was a bit apprehensive at first. Dr. Wells made me feel comfortable and took time with me to get a good medical history. Needless to say his office staff were kind and very understanding. Made me feel good to be there."
"Dr. Wells and his team were amazing! I needed a colonoscopy and they were able to get me in within a few days. Dr. Wells explained everything to me before and after the procedure. Great bedside manner!"

"This was my second time having Dr. Gunnison perform my colonoscopy, i highly recommend him and his great staff!"
"I had a colonoscopy performed by Dr. Foley on December 5th and the procedure couldnât have gone more smoothly. Both he and his staff did an excellent job of explaining what was going to happen, how long it would take, and what the recovery period was. The procedure was absolutely painless and after I was driven home I was able to perform my in-home activities immediately. I highly recommend Dr. Foley."
"I recently had a colonoscopy preformed by Dr. Patel and staff that did a great job. Originally it was scheduled for last month but for a complication we to reschedule if we tried and had to stop my insurance would be charged. I am thankful for that. Not only is Dr. Patel to be commended for his professionalism but his caring for his patients as well as his great bedside manner."
"Dr Mills is very careful to explain the entire process of the colonoscopy from the prep medications thru the actual procedure helping the patient be comfortable with the process."
"Quick, efficient, informative consultation for upcoming colonoscopy that I'm not looking forward to but, ya gotta do what ya gotta do."
"Dr Andrew Grade is awesome! He preformed a colonoscopy on me 10 yrs ago and now it was time for me to come back for another checkup. He has great bedside manners and easy to talk with. He is very skilled in his profession and I highly recommend his services. Thank you for all you do. Not only have you taken care of me but several members of my family as well. See you in 5 yrs Sir, until then bottoms up. Okay to the side. đ"
"Nice clean atmosphere, friendly staff. I didn't have to wait long for my appointment. All my follow up appointments were coordinated with my approval. The only complaint I have is the long wait for my colonoscopy, I was told to call to check on cancellations, to get in earlier."
"My experience getting an endoscopy and colonoscopy with Dr. Meline was excellent! Everything went very smooth. I highly recommend him! :)"
"I went for a colonoscopy, I was sedated so Icrashed out immediatly and next thing you know I was waken up because they were finished. It was easy peasy and did not feel a thing. Dr. H. is great doctor and I highly recommend him."
"Iâm a 63 year old male who had a horrible experience with my first colonoscopy at age 50 . I basically had a vasal vagal reaction and my heart rate dropped to 33 beats per minute during the procedure. They gave me something that woke me up out of unconsciousness with the scope still in place . I remember screaming â it hurts , it hurts !!â . I think this happened because the doctor was too rough. However, I had a completely different experience with Dr Atia . She explained why she thought this happened and what her and her team were going to do to prevent it from happening again. I remember waking up after the procedure and I didnât realize they had even started. Everything went flawlessly. I will never have another colonoscopy without Dr Atia at the helm . She was amazing!! Sincerely, Bruce Thomas"
"I had Dr. Schwartz perform my first colonoscopy several years ago. I trust him to do my follow up. He is a highly skilled gastroenterologist, and would not go to anyone else."
"Everyone @ Arizona Endoscopy Center were extremely kind, professional, and efficient with me and the colonoscopy procedure I recommend this Center to all, you won't be disappointed."
"Awesome doc. I'm a family medicine physician in Ahwatukee and I've been referring patients to Dr David for over 10 years based on his expertise, skill, judgment and care for my patients. When it was time for me to get my screening colonoscopy it was an easy decision of who to choose."
"The medical staff here are very good, not only friendly but also professional They cleared two polyps in my colon. I didn't feel any pain during the operation. The colonoscopy was very good for me. When I returned home, they contacted me in time to ask me how I felt and whether there was any bleeding. They are very careful and make me feel warm. I am very grateful to the doctors, anesthesiologists and nurses here. They are the best."
"I have a very high regard for EVG, in most part due to Dr.Gregory Nguyenduc, who saw me through a life threatening disease(hep c), starting at a time when there was no safe, sure cure until the time the current one became affordable for all, as well as my first and, (10 yrs.later), second colonoscopy, just yesterday. Dr. Nguyenduc, in my opinion, is an excellent doctor in his field who is also caring, listens to you and is easy to speak to as well. And thatâs saying a lot considering the two issues Iâve seen him for are the kind nobody likes to talk about. I felt it important to put them in my review to make my point about this doctor and perhaps make it easier for others to decide to finally make that appointment theyâve been putting off. I feel I am safe and in good hands with Dr.Nguyenduc and would highly recommend him to any one who has a need to see a doctor in his field. I would also like to add the staff at EVG is friendly, helpful and easy to work with as well. Special shout out to Jeremy, who went above and beyond anything I would ever expect from a doctorâs office, to help me out, please know you are appreciated."
"My first colonoscopy in AZ was awesome. Preparation the day before isn't fun (though I got an A+ lol) Highly recommended Dr. Mills for this procedure. His staff was awesome as well."
"My first time getting a colonoscopy. I have to say every one at Arizona digestive health was spectacular. Dr. Sawyer made me feel so comfortable. He explain procedure and what to expect. Thank you so much."
"Dr Wadas performed colonoscopy and endoscopy on both my husband and I. He was professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to throughly explain the procedure and prep work involved. When the results came back, he met with us to review findings. (All results were fine) He explained results and made recommendations to ensure optimal health. I highly recommend Dr Wandas and his team"
"Dr. Charles Saperstein made my colonoscopy an easy experience. He is very professional and personable. He called me personally after the biopsy of polyps he had removed to let me lnow they were benign. Most surgeons leave that to their staff. I can't say enough good things about him."
"Pleasant, I feel comfortable and trust Dr. Lam. There was few questions, I have an appointment for colonoscopy."
"Dr. Panossian listens to your concerns and addresses them. I am so thankful to have found him. Been putting off a colonoscopy for 5 years but went ahead and had one because of his mannerism and professionalism. I would and do recommend him highly"
"The prep for a colonoscopy is so difficult that it leaves you with fear. When I arrived I was instantly put at ease. The nurse that did my iv was great,as you only stuck me once with no pain. That never happen with me. I was taken back where I again saw Dr Lam and the ansthesist. Went to sleep easily awoke to very good news. The facility was better than going to the hospital. I give all very high marks. L. Bonney"
"It was time for my well health age appropriate colonoscopy and I was referred to Dr. Lam. She is a complete treasure with outstanding bedside manners. I met her for the first time at my consult appointment where she explained everything in detail. Morning of my actual colonoscopy appointment she presented with an amazing attitude, was completely compassionate, explained how my time at the facility was going to be spent, asked if I had questions, explained who her staff was and what those individuals responsibilities would be in caring for me during my visit. After my procedure she came in with all of the details, she showed extremely patience, attentive to my questions, and again, compassionate. Dr. Lam is an exceptional doctor who truly cares about her patients. I will most definitely recommend her to my family & friends."
"Great bedside manner and with explaining the process of a colonoscopy."
