Does anybody have recommendations for a gastroenterolgist. My primary Dr. has referred me to Lake Endoscopy, a Dr. Trini Vaidya.

Thank you

I have been refereed to Dr. Lilly Tran. Her office is behind Billy's Cafe on 441. I have heard good things about her.

I see Dr. Tran and can highly recommend her.

Glad to hear you recommend Dr. Tran, islandgal. I'm spending most of Monday morning there, having my insides scoped! Haven't met her, but I was impressed with her staff when I wnet for consult.

Preparing for the procedure will be worse, I think, than the procedure!

Just a brief follow up to my earlier post.

The at-home preparations for my colonoscopy were most unpleasant.

The in-office preparations were very efficient, and the staff was cheerful and friendly. Taken in precisely on time.

The procedure itself wasn't too good. I think they underdosed me, but I did survive and here I am!

I'm afraid my backside has a much more familiar relationship with Dr. Lily Tran than I do! I said hello to her, she said hello to me, then I was under and she did her thing!

I'm hoping to see her at my follow up on the 13th.

I too, can recommend Dr Tran and her associate, Mariana de Jongh. Dr. de Jongh is every bit as qualified and is an excellent communicator.

My husband and I both used Dr. Vaidya. Know you are finished with your procedure, but just wanted to say.... My husband had Dr Vaidya and we were so impressed with his care, when my doctor asked who I wanted it go to, I said Dr Vaidya without even thinking.

Dr Trini did my colonoscopy and he's in the office of Dr Truesdale.

I was satisfied with Dr Trini and my mother has been to Dr Truesdale and no problems there.

Let's face it... how happy CAN you be with a colonoscopy?

Now I am torn. After reading swrinfla's report that she might have been underdosed, I do not want to be underdosed! One doctor I had told me in a Korean accent," I will give you many many drugs". In this kind of test- Well bring them on!!

How is Dr. Trini and Truesdale regarding drugging during this?

With Dr Vaidya I don't remember a thing about the procedure, but woke up quickly and feeling great.
