Learn MoreThis was my first colonoscopy and I was very impressed with this facility. The staff were all professional and friendly and put me at ease. The process was very efficient. I was in and out in 2 hours.
Would like to give it 5 stars but waited 1.5 hrs. on gurney for doctor to come and get me. He said they were short staffed but my guess is he took time to eat lunch while I waited. Meanwhile, I'm so hungry! Appointment was at 10:30 and it was 1:15 by the time I got to the procedure room. LOTS of staff on-hand and all were so pleasant.
Everyone (from the front desk on) at Endoscopy Center of Delaware was so patient, kind and professional. I really appreciated Dante, Breanna, James, Michelle and Dr Corso for making the event as comfortable and quick as possible. Truly wonderful people and place.
Everyone was very professional, friendly and attentive. Everything ran on time as well. I would recommend this center.
