Life-threatening. He botched the procedure by only using one clip after removing a large polyp. It fell off after one day. Being on blood thinners, came close to bleeding to death. Ended up in ER and a lengthy expensive hospital stay. WAGI/Manam refused all responsibility and were totally obstructive. Looking at his other reviews, I am not alone.

Wait time for colonoscopy was a bit long but that is because he is so good at his profession and probably has a lot of patients to schedule. He's very mild mannered and funny at times.
