The Stamford Endoscopy Center is very well organized and managed. The personnel is efficient and friendly. The doctors are personable while professional. It was a very pleasant experience to get cared for there. All in all I give the place a 5 star evaluation in all respect. I highly recommend this center for everyone in need of a GI workup.
