I was little bit worried after i read the previous comments but my experience was really good. The nurses are amazing and the anesthesia lady (couldn't catch her name) was amazing as well. They saw i was nervous and they talked to me to calm me down and even turn on the music little bit. Definitely recommend this place.
(06/29/2020) Had a Blessed experience - from start to finish. I will give it a Perfect 10 . Slid in & out within 2hrs and Everyone was Friendly, Courteous and Professional as they could be. I want to thank Ms. Theresa, MT, Ms. Natalya, RN, Dr. Steve Blicblum, Dr. Emmanuel Mompi, Ms. Carolyn, RN, Ms. Jayleen, Tech, Ms. Jenna, CRNA, Ms. Nancy, RN, Ms. Jeanette, MT and Ms. Marie, MT for making my procedure as easy as possible - including the Ladies in the ' check-in ' office. I absolutely recommend Tampa Bay Endoscopy Center. God Bless! Jerome L. Green
Great experience. The facility is obviously going to be busy since doctors from all around the area perform here. If you experience a long wait it’s likely because your doctor overbooked - not the center’s fault. The staff was all so friendly and accommodating from beginning to end (no pun intended). I’m actually looking forward to my next colonoscopy, but not the prep. When they ask why your there, tell them you’re there for the butt-cam. They’ll get a nice chuckle.
