Learn MoreI was at Northeast Endoscopy Center for a colonoscopy recently. The entire experience, from scheduling the appointment, preparing for the procedure, the procedure itself, to the "debriefing" at the end was fantastic. The doctor I dealt with, Dr. Heidi Ahmed, was outstanding. Probably the best medical office I've had to deal with. My highest recommendation.
Very good care and handling of the procedure. People were very good and helpful thru the entire process. Highly recommended.
I thought the staff here was great. Everyone was friendly and helped set expectations throughout. Dr. Huang did the procedure and was great to work with in advance. After the procedure they had a variety of cookies to eat. There is plenty of parking out front. It would have been nice if they could have given more updates to my wife, who was in the waiting room. The procedure took longer than expected, which can be worrisome to the person waiting.
First of all it was my husband Tom who had 3 procedures in the last 2 and a half months and it will be 3 weeks this Friday and he hasn’t heard and results!
