Dr Runnels was great but when I woke up I had a large bandage on my lower leg. About 4 women were standing around and said I hit it on the rail. So I think someone was not paying attention. There is a long skin tear and bruising on my lower leg. They gave me antibiotic cream for it and it has been very sore.

The only dislike I have is that my appt. was for 8AM & it was well after 9AM before I was called back...delays are inevitable though so who knows what I was saved from. Other than the delay, no problems whatsoever. Everyone I encountered was extremely nice & professional. Need more of that.

This place is horrible. They told me to be procedure at the procedure at 10 for a procedure that they knew was not going to start until 11. They said it was to give time for paperwork. The paperwork took 5 minutes yo fill out. I spent 3 hours at this place for a procedure that should have taken 1.5 hrs. I was also forced to take a pregnancy test. I will not go back.

He and his staff explained everything clearly to me and my husband before my endoscopy and gave him all my paperwork before rolling me to the car.
