I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy at the same time. From the beginning, I was called in almost immediately, with many great nurses and others getting me ready. I then was taken right back where Dr Shinde came in and the next thing I know, I wake up and it’s over. In recovery for a little while a nurse and then Dr Shinde came in to explain what they had done. Overall, a very positive experience.
Great experience. When you have to go an endoscopy center it's not the most pleasant thing to do. Also nerves are high.. The staff is so friendly and respectful.. My Dr. (Dr. Chandrupatla) was wonderful also..
Started off rough, but everything went smoothly from checking in to checking out. All was good
Everyone was very professional and put you at ease. Very pleasant experience. There are some great people there from the doctors to the nurses.
When it comes to colon cancer, there are many factors that you cannot control. It’s impossible to eliminate risk factors such as age, race and ethnicity, family history, health conditions and genetic syndromes.
Delays in diagnosis and treatment of cancer during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in worse outcomes for some patients, according to recently published data.
A new study published in Gastroenterology suggests increased levels of vitamin D could help prevent colon cancer in adults under 50.
Had my first colonoscopy at Suncoast Endoscopy, I was a little nervous but the staff and Dr Patel were wonderful, easy going and very informative. I would highly recommend them. Thank you .
