I have been a patient for over eight years. I can't imagine going to any other facility. Bonnie, Dr. Piken's assistant has been "OVER THE TOP" when it comes to my care. She always makes sure that I understand my condition and treatment. Vickie too has been someone that I have reached out to and has also given me the attention that we all think we deserve as a patient.

The endoscopy center is a very well run facility. I have nothing but praise for all the staff I came in contact. They were very nice and caring. One of the best new improvements is the discharge papers. They are very readable and nicely done. I really do not have any complaints or any other improvements to offer. The endoscopy center staff do a terrific job! Thank you for making my time there so comfortable. thank you very much, pamela gibson.

Dr. Piken was referred to me by a fellow Firefighter 15 years ago and my most recent colonoscopy was my third with Dr. Piken. I like Dr. Piken's direct style, the entire staff at the center is outstanding, I will be back in another 5-7 years for my next routine colonoscopy.

I've been a patient of Dr Piken for many years I've had serval procedures at this center. The nurses make you feel at ease, the center is clean and I feel comfortable going there. Dr Piken is the best.
