Reviews
Staff listened to my concerns and working on getting me better!
Short wait to see Doctor Vincent. He was so kind and made me feel comfortable right away. I didn't feel rushed. He explained things thoroughly and tried to belay any fears.
Everyone there is awesome! Dr. Vincent is very professional and would recommend to everyone.

Have always been treated with respect by everyone in office. Dr. Vincent is very nice and explains everything well.
Dr Vincent is very attentive and through. My suffering is ongoing but his medical care makes it understandable and tolerable. The lady that takes blood is fantastic!
Staff and Dr.Vincent kept me informed of everything g before and after procedure. They were also able to add a procedure that I needed as well so I only had to prep and come in once. This was much appreciated.
Great doctors who really care!
Great experience and insight! Just felt it was hard to get in. Took 3 months to get in for a follow up to a procedure which wasn’t the greatest thing! But I highly recommend Dr Vincent and he has a great demeanor and talks through the problem!

Great staff and patient care.
Nurses were awesome and all the staff was very friendly. Doc did a great job as well.
I was not at all pleased with my recovery care. The lady was not pleasant, she made me feel like I was taking up her precious time and needing to be pushed out. I asked for a blanket and she told me I was leaving I didn't need one. I asked again for a bkanket when I was in the wheel chair, watching my room be cleaned (proof I'm being rushed- to then hear that room was done for the day) while I waited for someone to take me out, she ignored me, so I went to get my own, I would have fell over due to loss of balance (I felt ok, obviously I wasn't) and the cleaning lady caught me and gave me my blanket and also took my out for my ride. My ride went to the wrong pickup area, and without hesitation, she took me over there. She was fantastic.
The 2 nurses, Madonna & Bridget were very kind when I got there to prep for surgery.
The surgery room experience a bit scary, I've had a few surgeries, and I've never been coherent for that long of a time before a procedure (this was my 4th colonoscopy) I was quite emotional with anxiety, though this is an everyday event fir them, I feel like they need to remember that it isn't for us. Possibly for those that are extremely anxious, help us out with a little medication after we're prepped. That would help sooo much.
Thank you for allowing me to express my thoughts.
