I can't say enough good things about the Tampa Bay Endoscopy Center, but I'll share a few... First off, the front office is well maintained and the staff is very efficient. Every person I encountered was professional and yet very friendly. Every single member of the staff introduced themselves and patiently told me the steps that they were responsible for with regards to my care. Having a colonoscopy isn't pleasant in itself, but the staff made every effort to make me feel comfortable. I was at first nervous, but soon, I was enjoying authentic conversations with many of them which eased my anxiety. Multiple times, I was asked if there was anything I needed to make me more comfortable and was offered additional blankets to ensure that I wasn't cold in such a sterile environment. The only time I felt any discomfort was when my IV was first initiated, but that's to be expected and it only lasted a moment. Before the actual colonoscopy, the center used propofol as the anesthetic, so I was asleep in no time and woke up refreshed shortly after to members of the staff checking in on me. I was then offered some food and juice - at no time did I feel rushed. Soon after, I was handed a printed report of the procedure results along with photos. A staff member patiently answered all my questions with regards to the information that I had received. When my wife arrived to take me home, a member of the staff escorted me to the car and reiterated to reach out to the center if there were any questions or concerns. The next day, I received a text asking how I was doing. Talk about being thorough! Having to flush out my system in preparation for a colonoscopy is not a pleasant experience, but the actual treatment I received at the center was second to none. No doubt that they do countless colonoscopies every year, but regardless, they treat every patient as an individual with dignity and respect which means a lot to me. Tampa Bay Endoscopy Center is HIGHLY recommended!

The doctors and nurses are all very nice, the experience was great. They are very busy, but I would rather get it done with quick, rather than months of waiting.
