Doctor was late! I was on time. That happens. Nice lady came out to tell me that he’d arrive in about 15 minutes. He did. Office staff, nurses, anesthesia guy, doctor, all were pleasant, thorough, not rushed. I’ll see them again in 5 years. I’d give them very high marks. Not a complaint one. Thanks folks.

I would recommend Waco Gastroenterology after having a colonoscopy performed there. I was a bit apprehensive since it was my first time to have one done. The nurse that readied me for the actual procedure was very good at calming her patients as she worked.. Once the patient preparation for the procedure.had been completed, the actual procedure and post- procedure went smoothly with no after effects from the anesthesia. I plan on having my next one performed there as well. Good work Waco Gastroenterology!
