The doctor was great, the anesthesiologist hurt my hand so badly putting in the needle that 2 weeks later the entire hand was still bruised.
I had to have a colonoscopy and was very worried about the symptoms I had that lead up to me needing one. But the Doctor I had did not give me the real help or bed side manner I would have liked or paid for . (Dr Shovan The staff was much more warm and nice . The nurse gave me a paper to tell me what were the findings , not the doctor . I asked the nurse where was he after the procedure, I would think he would come and explain things or tell me how to eat or what I could do in future ,to treat the findings .. but it was on the print out to read it and go . That’s what my insurance paid for . But he did come in and say very briefly what the paper said but no more . But Ms Lisa and Dana took good care of of me tho .
The Louisiana Endoscopy Center is top notch, no waiting, arrived, signed in and within minutes I was being prepared for my procedure, the staff is kind and compassionate. I woke up and was headed back to my house. Great experience.
Everyone was super nice and very welcoming. It was a quick process and I would recommend anyone to them!
Staying well during the coronavirus pandemic is important, but are you sacrificing your colon health by delaying what could be a life-saving colonoscopy? You may think staying at home is a way you can do your part to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but having a colonoscopy is a basic form of preventive care that could save your life.
Colon cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in the United States, but most cases are preventable with routine colonoscopies. According to AMSURG, a leading national healthcare group, more than 200,000 colonoscopies were missed in 2020.
According to an article in the New York Times, current events are turning up the heat when it comes to heartburn. More Americans are using prescription and over-the-counter heartburn medicine to manage stress and reflux, resulting in nationwide shortages of acid reducers.
I loved this place, everyone is so nice and professional.
