"These people really know what they are doing, they're pros. The worst part of it was actually preparing for the colonoscopy the day before. Virtually no pain after the procedure. One moment I was lying in a hospital bed waiting for the procedure, the next moment I woke up and it was already done. The doctor pointed out things in the camera images and explained what they were. I would definitely go back to have Colonoscopies done there in the future."

"I know there are a lot of Great health professionals out there but this staff went above and beyond during my procedure. The nursing staff made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Talking softly and making sure I had warm blankets to cover up with. While placing the IV in I didn't feel it at all. While going into the procedure area I was welcomed by the assistants and nurses who were happily singing and making sure I was all tucked in and ready to go. After the procedure I was welcomed with snacks and drinks. This is not something that is enjoyable but if you need to get this done I would recommend WAGI to everyone."
