Glad to see that this is an active topic. I shared my story a year ago about the trials and tribulations of colon cancer. Stage 1 cancer was discovered and 8" of my colon was removed. Had I not maintained a regular colonoscopy schedule based on my previous doctor's advice the outcome could have easily been a lot worse. Bright eyed and bushy tailed now and cancer free.

A big vote for Dr. Mariana DeJongh-Beyer! My husband and I both like her very much. She is very caring and professional and very easy to talk to!
She is in the same office as Dr. Truesdale.

My lucky hubby had his colonoscopy YESTERDAY with Dr. Nemhe Gabriel.

Everything went like clockwork. He was very impressed with the physician and the entire staff.

Hubby gave them glowing reviews!

Endo nurses and techs the procedure room is a little more important to me then the doctor. As they are the ones that help with the procedure and then clean the scopes after. Those doctors who do what we call a drive-by procedure less than five minutes because it's a money-saving issue I'm just not a fan. Using the pill cam this time we'll see how it goes.

I have Dr. Marianna DeJong also. She's great and is also with Dr. Truesdale's group.

I had a relatively speaking good experience with GastroIntestinal Consultants.

The only time I had it done, I first met with the doctor several days prior and then didn't see him till after I woke up. How can you say if he was any good or not?
