Very pleasant and efficient from sign in to anesthesia and procedure. Dr. Abou Assi was courteous. I knew him when he was a fellow in Gastroenterology at VCU. His mentors have alway said he was a skillful proceduralist and he is.

Went in for a routine colonoscopy. It was quick and painless. The nurses were caring and friendly and the anesthesiologist is great.

Dr. Abou Assi was excellent. He was very caring, friendly, and thorough during my visit and really took the time to listen to my questions and offered recommendations outlining how best to implement them. He has performed two procedures on me in the past and takes great care of his patients. His office staff and nurses are very efficient and welcoming as well.

Dr Abou-Assi came up with a plan for me that the other gastroenterologists did not have when I saw them. He listened to my problems carefully and came up with helpful recommendations that I will try and return back to him in a few months for a follow up. The office staff were so helpful in getting me an appointment and they were courteous and treated me with respect and care. This has not been the case with some of the other gastroenterologist offices I have been to.

Staff was friendly and helpful. I was anesthetized during my procedure, but I presume it all went well. I woke up, and received my results.
