This was my very first, long overdue colonoscopy and it was a very pleasant experience. Dr. Lam, the anesthesiologist and all the other staff were very informative and nice and I didn’t feel a thing.

Very professional staff in every part of the clinic. The prep nurses and anesthesiologist were very professional and nursing staff very kind. Dr Lam came in before the procedure to talk and make sure there were no questions and then after the procedure came in and reviewed the results and reports and spent as much time as needed. Can't say enough about how easy the entire process and procedure was. I highly recommend Dr Lam and everyone in the facility. The only bad part was the at home prep starting the day before but it was well worth it.
