I was scheduled for my once-a-decade colonoscopy. While I was there, and because I have a history of swallowing problems, they decided to do an endoscopy as well. Both procedures were done under anesthesia. Scheduling was easy, and was accomplished in a single phone call. Colonoscopy prep (fasting for 36 hours and drinking solutions to clean the gut completely) is always ugly, but went better than I expected. There was some in-office prep before the procedures, and all the office and medical staff were knowledgeable and professional, which was reassuring. There was an unexplained 30 minute delay before the procedure process started, but once things started rolling, it went well and quickly. A report with photos was presented to me after the procedures, and Dr. Seif explained what he had done and foud, and gave me an overall grade, all of which was helpful to me. Overall, the professionalism and friendly and helpful nature of the staff made this fairly pleasant. Thank you, Texas GI Endoscopy Center!
