Center for Digestive Diseases & Cary Endoscopy Center PA

Wow! No one wants a colonoscopy (at least, I don’t know anyone who does!), and this office made it so simple.
My regular doctor referred me there, and the Center for Digestive Diseases /​Cary Endoscopy called me to set a date for the colonoscopy. I was able to do my health history over the phone, and when I needed to change the date of my procedure, it was no problem.
Two small glitches — they send an email with preparation instructions, and mine did not arrive. I called and they promptly sent another. Also, since I changed the date of my procedure, I had a different doctor than I was expecting. It didn’t matter to me, as I had never met either doctor, but I would have preferred to know in advance.
Anyway, the day of the procedure, the office staff was so friendly and efficient. They made sure I was comfortable and explained every step of the way what they were doing, from taking blood pressure to telling me how long until my procedure. It was unclear if my insurance would cover a certain part of the procedure, and they explained everything clearly to me and let me make the decision about what to do.
The propofol worked great, and i have no recollection of the procedure. I felt fine within a minute of waking up. The doctor explained the results to me and soon I was on my way home.
If you are a very private person, you might want to know that since each procedure they were doing while I was there was short in duration, there are several other patients who are going in and out of the «operating room» one after the other, and while you wait, you can hear some of the discussion of their results. I am not sure this is very different anywhere else in a recovery room, but I’m putting it out there.
