Dishonest. My primary care physician ordered a colon cancer screening colonoscopy that is 100% covered under ACA over 45.
Because I stated to Dr Shabaz that I had an aunt that had colon cancer and I had a polyp removed 20+ years ago due to constant inflammation from lactose intolerance, he decided to take a biopsy from a healthy colon with zero polyps to turn the procedure into a diagnostic colonoscopy which is not 100% covered under ACA.
I also reported no symptoms so there was no reason to turn this into a diagnostic procedure other than to line pockets with more money.
I didn't have the same terrible experience as others. I arrived a few minutes before my appointed time, filled out paperwork, and called in no more than 15 minutes later. The receptionist was courteous to everyone (not just me). Granted that the facility itself isn't top notched, but the staff is wonderful. My nurse, Jackie, was kind and responsive. I wouldn't want to be in any medical facilities if I didn't have to, but if I did, I'd want to be where the staff seems to care like I had experienced with my recent visit to the center. Thank you, everyone, for having taken great care of me.

I had a scheduled Colonoscopy. Staff were approachable and helpful. My procedure was quick thankfully. I felt safe the whole time. Thank you Dr Morton- anesthesiologist and Dr Shahbaz- Gastroenterologist. Dolly RN
