The Diagnostic Endoscopy Center is the place to go for endoscopy. As a retired General and Vascular Surgeon as well as a patient, I can tell you there is no better place to get your colonoscopy or any other endoscopic procedures. It is conveniently located with plenty of parking right at the entrance. There is no need to wander through multiple buildings or parking signs and wind up getting lost. The front staff is very friendly, and the waiting area is clean and modern and very comfortable. The nurses and aids are compassionate and experts at what they do. My gastroenterologist who performed my colonoscopy, Dr. William Pintauro is top notch. He spoke with my wife after the procedure and even called me later on in the day to see how I was doing.The anesthesiologist was excellent, I did not feel a thing. The modern bowel prep ,Plenvu, was very easily tolerated. In short, if you need a colonoscopy this is the place to go. Remember, a colonoscopy is one of the best things you can do for your health. By the time you have symptoms, it might be too late. I tell you as a surgeon who has done hundreds of colon surgeries over my career, I can attest to the importance of having a colonoscopy as part of your preventive health regimen. I am grateful to Dr. Pintauro for keeping me in good health.
