Great doctors and staff. The office is very inviting and clean and has a unique Golden Age of Hollywood theme.
My first experience, by another office, was very traumatic and unpleasant. I was highly nervous to go again several years later. I demanded another office and doctor. I couldn’t have had a better experience starting with the staff and ending with Dr. Haldernan. They put my fears at ease throughout the procedure. Next time I have to schedule, I will be far more relaxed. And Dr. Haldernan? Please don’t retire too soon, okay?😉
The entire staff are a pleasure to work with. They clearly care about you, the patient, whenever you go to their office.
The procedure itself went great with no pain. Two complaints and I’m not sure if it relates to doctor or the company. One- no anesthesiologist so I got twilight juice which messes my whole system up for the week- seriously wiped me out. And the nurse told me they don’t know but a week ahead of time when Anes. will be there which is odd to me. Two- I had a lot of anxiety since I’ve never had this procedure or anything else that involves IVs in over twenty years and they left me in a room for an hour with no phone or magazine. That sucked. I was so anxious and uncomfortable and there was nothing to distract me. Also the doctor left without giving me an update with how minor surgery went which was weird and a little off putting. That being said, procedure went well and I had no pain I just didn’t feel all that taken care of at this particular appointment. But everyone else I know has had an awesome experience at this GI center so maybe it was just an off day.
My prep tech, Brian, was great! As we visited I discovered that he is related to the parents of a couple of my former students. The colonoscopy was quick and painless—the last thing I remember was being told by my anesthesiologist that I’d be “drifting off” in 10 seconds or less. Then I was being awakened in the recovery room. Dr Huang had talked with me before the procedure and he came in and explained the findings before I was wheeled out of Recovery. WAGI staff were excellent in communicating the pre-procedure steps and answering my questions ahead of time as well as following up afterwards. The worst part was having to spend so much time in the bathroom as a result of drinking the seemingly never ending prep solution (it actually didn’t taste too bad) the day before and the morning of my scheduled appointment.

An optimal way to detect and prevent cancer is to undergo a colonoscopy before cancer grows to a critical stage. Over 95 percent of precancerous polyps are identified during a colonoscopy and are removed during the procedure. Tissue samples from the polyps are sent to pathology to determine any signs of cancer. A colonoscopy is a preventative measure that safeguards your GI health by eliminating any polyps before they progress to a severe stage. A colonoscopy is a gold standard for both the prevention and detection of colorectal cancer.
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are among the most common types of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). Many Americans are affected, with around 1.6 million currently impacted by these diseases. IBD is a chronic condition that’s typically diagnosed in patients before the age of 35. As a chronic condition, it can be treated but not completely cured. There are approximately 70,000 new cases in children and adults detected each year.
