The entire experience was totally flawless!
Greg M.
From check-in through check-out, this practice couldn't have been any better. The receptionist was warm and friendly and very efficient. I was taken back almost immediately and nurse Roger took excellent care of me in preparation for my colonoscopy. The anesthesiologist was friendly and professional. Dr. Bologna took a few minutes to greet me and ask if I had any question prior to the procedure. The next thing I knew, I was done and in recovery where again Dr. Bologna explained the results and fielded any questions. The staff took good care of me, explained post procedure guidelines and even walked me out to the front of the building while my wife retrieved the car. Then after I got home, they called to make sure I arrived home safely and that I was doing okay. My sincere thanks and gratitude go out to Dr. Bologna and all of his staff for a job well done.
Lanny B.
The entire staff was extremely friendly and efficient. They took an event that by all means is awkward and intrusive procedure and made it as pleasant as it could possibly be. Everyone was caring and engaging. I highly recommend this office for anyone needing their services. Thank you.
Raman S.
The service is very professional and excellent. Staff is very attentive and willing to answer any questions.
Anthony B.
Other than waiting almost an hour for my colonoscopy, everything went well. The staff was friendly and clear on the procedure. They have a ton of availability, easy to get in.
Kathleen O.
Awesome experience having my EGD with Dr. Donat! Best nap of my life! This place runs so smoothly and everyone is nice, professional, and caring!!!! Great job group!
Joel H.
Great experience, very professional yet compassionate towards the patients.
Candice H.
This is my second procedure with Dr. Donat at this facility. My first was an endoscopy to diagnose Celiac and second was routine Colonoscopy. Both experiences were very positive. I drove further from my home to see Dr. Donat as opposed to the group and center close by. I had a previous negative experience with a doctor at another practice who missed my celiac disease after several months of visits including a Colonoscopy that Dr Donat was able to diagnose quickly and accurately. His demeanor, personality and expertise are what every patient wants in a doctor and the drive is worth it to me. And the surgical center even though it was extremely busy is ran by caring staff with order and efficiency. Superb care I can’t recommend highly enough.
Dawn L.
Everyone is always friendly. Able to make an appt quickly. Very efficient. I've never waited for more than 5 to 10 minutes to be seen. Nicolette is very thorough and takes her time to explain things. I've never felt rushed. I've only ever seen Dr. Wille for my colonoscopy and he's always been very pleasant and answers all of my questions without feeling rushed. I highly recommend this office.
M-USER
The staff was friendly, positive and professional. Extra shout out to Kim!
L. K.
Dr Abadir did a great job!
LuCritia B.
Everyone from the time I checked in to the time I left was so helpful. Again thank you all so very much.
Tony I.
Everything went very well.
Yvonne P.
If you’re looking for hands on care and respectful treatment, this is the place to go. my doctor, Dr. Bakken and staff get 10 stars out of 10
