Actors “Lead From Behind” With Colonoscopy Screenings
A simple bet between friends — and colonoscopy screenings — may have saved the lives of actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The co-owners of the Wrexham Association Football Club in Wales made a friendly wager, which Reynolds ultimately lost. McElhenney bet that if he learned to speak Welsh, Reynolds would publicly broadcast his first

My experience is that, God sent me to a Doctor that care about my health. I can sit down and talk to him and he listen to me and don’t rush me.That’s what I need after surviving cancer. Jehovah Rapha, God our healer. God work through the doctor. Amen.
I arrived and was greeted by Ms. Cloey Williams, she process me and was polite,kind and helpful.
I saw Dr. J.K. Campbell, he was professional and inquired about my problem. He covered all my questions and concerns.
Then I saw? Ms. Renika Williams, she arranged the appointment and procedure schedule. She explained everything to me clearly and precise. I wanted to do something that would have made it easier and quicker for me. She took out time make me understand that it wouldn’t be safe for me. I truly appreciate her help and concern for my health. Over all my visit was excellent…..Ms. Sharon Fox

Wonderful, clean facility. All staff from check in to check out- nurses, anesthesiologist, etc. were professional and efficient.
Dr. Schlibler was fabulous! Very intelligent, orders appropriate tests, and takes action as needed by his interpretation of what he hears and sees.

Dr Awetry is awesome. Such a good listener and he explains everything throughly.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Reiss and staff. They staff were very comforting and helpful. I also loved that they informed me of everything that was being done at that time.
Always great never any problems would recommend to anyone
Everybody were friendly and professional I was treated with respect and the doctor made me feel calm and explained everything
Dr was clear and through, explained my chart and asked my preference for the next procedure, very satisfied
Great Doctors and Staff . Their very attentive to you and your health.
EXCELLENT HE SAW MY MOTHER BEFORE SHE DIED.CLASS ACT.
I give dr Puente just four stars, because the time waiting to see him at the office was too long. On the other hand, he is very careful and polite with his pts. I was not the Pt, my mother was, he treated her with respect, dignity and professionalism. He explained everything detailed and in simple words so my mother could understand him. Also, in Spanish. That's a plus.
Dr Awtry and his staff are great!
Dr. Catinis is an amazing doctor and human being! He goes beyond the call of duty all the times! I won't changing him for anything! I trust his advice and recommendations!
Great doctor and nurses Highly recommend.
Was having stomach issues and called to make an appointment. Was not able to see the dr on short notice, however they were able to give me an appointment with an NP which was good for me. She took the time to listen to my issues and gave me samples out of the office for the medication that I thought I could no longer afford on Medicare. They sent an authorization for the medication and I was able to get the medicine I thought I could no longer afford.
Very friendly doctor that will take the time with his patients and answers any questions.
Needed an appointment. called at 9 am gave me an appointment. for 12pm that day.Staff very nice pleasant visit.
Dr. Marino himself is great!
His office staff could use some professional development training. You get a call from someone and they leave a message using their middle name and when you call back the staff doesn’t know who you’re talking about! You get to the person who last entered the communication and it’s the person that called! Am I wrong here but use the name your coworkers address you with! She happened to be nice! Generally, they are not very friendly and sound bothered when you call them. Perhaps, just wish them a good day.
Again, the doctor is great and you’re there to see him.
