Avoid this doctor office!

Dr. Holden was a OK doctor. But the doctor's office is horrible! The nurses are totally irresponsible. Dr. Holden wrote prescription after my gastroscopy diagnose. I went to my pharmacy two days later, they didn't receive my prescription. I called and a nurse told me it's on the way. I waited for one day and my pharmacy received nothing. I called again. A nurse said she just sent the prescription. I waited two days but the pharmacy still didn't receive anything. Then I asked the pharmacy to call the doctor's office. A week later my pharmacy got the prescription. But at this time my insurance was just expired. I had to wait another week until I got my new insurance ID. So I got my medicine two weeks after my doctor wrote the prescription. This doctor office is totally undependable. Avoid it as you can!

Colon Cancer Screening

Went in for a colon cancer screening. Liked the newer solution treatment for cleansing the bowel. Was easy to drink without the gagging salty solution given in my pass experinces. Liked the doctors interview and follow up discussion with my wife present who happens to be a nurse which helped in asking the right questions. Courteous staff at his office as well with staff at the hospital.

IRC was a RIP OFF

Said he could treat my Hem'rds w/ IRC. Tried two treatments. It did nothing to help and he didn't even check my Hemoglobin! He should have said he couldn't help as soon as he saw how bad they were but instead wasted my time and money on useless treatments. IRC should only be used for minor cases.
