Carnegie Hill Endoscopy

Outstanding facility & staff. They made me feel so comfortable from the moment I walked in.

I was privileged to have a colonoscopy done at Carnegie Hill Endoscopy. From the moment I made an appointment, through the moment I was discharged, everything was perfect — it was healthcare heaven. I am a healthcare communications professional, and I endorse Carnegie Hill Endoscopy as the best facility, with the best people — who understand what the patient is going through — in any I have ever encountered. It is clean and absolutely patient-​centered, w hen everyone else throws that term around. Everything — from the building itself — to the spectacular STAFF — greeters, nurses, physicians, anesthesiologists, et al – have been just wonderful. I am so grateful for this facility. Recommend it 100 percent plus to anyone! Thank you Carnegie Hill Endoscopy!!!

I can’t speak highly enough about this outpatient facility. I’ve returned here several times for these unpleasant procedures. Carnegie Hill is a spotless, efficient and pleasant environment with a consistently competent, professional, attentive, kind and caring staff, from clerical to nursing. I was called the day prior for detailed history, so when I arrived (at 6:45 a.m.), all I had to do was check in and admitted. It is understood that after preparing for this test, the last thing you want to do is fill out forms and answer questions. You’re treated with kindness and compassion. If you’re lucky, your doctor is associated with Carnegie Hill Endo.

i have had this procedure done in great teaching hospitals as well as in Endoscopy centers and Carnegie Hill truly stood out in everyway. First class with a caring well trained staff from the time I walked I out the time I walked out And the first that I met Dr. Lewis and only can say that he is a caring compassionate physician … I would never rely on a Unilocal review for medical care as everyone thinks there Doctor is the best… like who would say I go to Dr. Jones and he is OK I don’t think so but again I know my way around the medical world and I was definitely impressed

Great place to get your ‘things’ done in. I found the automated check-​in a bit difficult since I’m a foreigner, hardly ever use my Social Security Number (so forgot it, but the system could deal with that), and also could not deal with my emergency contact’s foreign phone number (this was never resolved). Also a bit confusing that I had two procedures done in one (I’m getting used to that in the US healthcare system) — that caused a small computer delay. Otherwise it went very smoothly, ummm, yesss… There was a lovely, and very funny (and young, to me) doctor who did the preparation, and I knew my gastroenterologist was very competent. It’s in network with my insurance (I checked in advance) so the cost is kind of irrelevant to me (though I also don’t like to squeeze the pockets of my fellow-​members too much).

Outstanding facility for endoscopy. I’ve been here over the years for various procedures, and my experience has always been excellent. If your doctor is affiliated with this facility (or is a part-​owner; they’re pretty up-​front about that), you’re in good hands.
It’s a spotless, modern space that runs like clockwork. I would call it a factory, except that every single person who works here is warm as well as professional. As an institution, it’s an unusually thoughtful place: There’s refrigerated bottled water in the reception area, free wi-​fi, and iPads available for you to take out on loan (!), if you need to pass the time.
It’s pretty convenient, especially if you’re on the East Side, a block from the 6 train and the M96 bus, and with parking in the same building.
There are a lot of moving parts in a place like this: tons of forms, phone calls before and after your procedure, and of course bills from your doctor, the anesthesiologist, the facility itself, and (possibly) a pathologist. I’ve never had a problem, but, yeah, welcome to our health care system.

Had colonoscopy here with Dr. Herman and was very satisfied with the care and service. Very modern facility. Polite intake staff. They provide pre and post procedure RNs and both were very professional and caring. The procedure done by Dr. Herman was very professional, the same with the other attending MD and colleagues. Would very much recommend.

Normal people do not look forward to getting probed in their stomach or hiney but if you have to have it done this is the place to go. I have had something like 6 upper endoscopys and Carnegie Hill was by far my best experience. Great facility, everyone is pleasant. Love the electronic check in. I was seen on time, procedure done, recovered and out. Took one hour and fifteen minutes or so. Didn’t have a problem with billing and by the way… Dr. Lewis is the man! Never had a doctor sit down with me after a procedure and go over the results. If you think it is expensive here go to Lennox Hill; they will charge you 3000.00 $ more and they are not ¼ nice. Did I tell you Dr. Lewis is the man?

Still getting bills from these guys. And I’m trying to hard to forget everything about them!

A pleasant place for an unpleasant procedure

I just had my first colonoscopy at Carnegie Hill Endoscopy (with Dr Blair Lewis)… and it was a first-​rate experience from beginning to end (no pun intended).
I was really nervous, not only being my first colonoscopy but my first time under anesthesia. Every single person I encountered, from the woman who checked me in at 6am in the morning … to the nurses (both pre and post colonoscopy). to the anesthesiologist made me feel comfortable and at ease. Even though I am sure they do dozens of colonoscopies a day … I did not feel like I was part of an assembly line. They made me feel like a human.
And what can I say about Dr Lewis? He was so great and very kind.
And after the colonoscopy when he came to discuss the results … I did not feel rushed at all. Dr. Lewis made me feel like if I had had 100 questions … he would have patiently answered them all.
Also another bonus: they have a blanket warming machine. You may not understand why this is a big deal now … but when you wake up after the procedure … and a nurse brings you a warm blanket. you will understand at that moment how great that is!
