"This was my 2nd colonoscopy at Waldron. They are an efficient, friendly and respectful staff all-around; made me feel comfortable during my visit. Had almost no wait between checking in to vitals to procedure. Two hours total!"
"I had an extended prep colonoscopy yesterday at the Waldron Endoscopy Center. From the clean and spacious waiting area, to the entire staff, to the procedure room, everything about this procedure was professional and efficient. Getting a colonoscopy is certainly not fun, but these folks made it seem pretty easy."
"Was a lot more relaxed and stress free then I was expecting. The staff was amazing, friendly, and answered any questions I had. In the procedure room they were so friendly and calm and definitely helped lower my anxiety level for having a colonoscopy and an endoscopy."
"The staff made me feel very comfortable throughout the procedure and it was all over very quickly. My only disappointment is that I couldn't walk all around the office to look at all the amazing Hollywood photos! I understand, though, that was because of COVID-19. And thank you to all for your concern and I hope you are all vaccinated!"
"Arrived on time and I was greeted by the receptionists. All of the employees were outstanding and gave me instructions on what to do. The doctor can in and greeted me. He was very pleasant and told me what to expect. This was not my first colonospopy so I knew what was involved. Before I knew it I was waking up from the procedure. I had a terrific sleep. I want to thank all of the nurses and assistants for an outstanding job. Dr. Holderman made the procedure as pleasant as can be. There's no and ands butts about it."
"Entire staff was very professional and pleasant. Though I hope I don't need another colonoscopy any time soon, I will certainly do it here when I do!"

I could not have been happier and more impressed with my experience."

I was really scared when I first got to my appointment but it was a breeze. Nice comfortable clean atmosphere."
"Everyone at Waldron Endoscopy was so nice - from the receptionist, to the nurses, anesthesiologist, doctor. I wish there was another way to prep for a colonoscopy :-( but the staff there made the entire process as pleasant as it could be. Many thanks to the staff and well done to whoever is responsible for hiring and training."

"I needed a colonoscopy after putting it off for 11 years. I have a family history of colorectal cancer. It has claimed the lives of three of my relatives and my sibling had precancerous polyps. I had a colonoscopy 16 years ago and was told to come back in five years, but had been putting it off due to the prep being so horrible. The doctor I had seen previously at Waldron Endoscopy Center in Tacoma had retired during this time. I made an appointment at the Sunrise location as it is close to my home, but when I showed up for my appointment, the prep wasn’t complete. After not eating for three days, I was desperate not to have to start the prep over. Luckily, they had an opening for the next day at Waldron and I booked the appointment. I went home with more prep and went to my appointment the next day. From the receptionists, to the three nurses I worked with, to the anesthesiologist and the MD who performed the procedure, I could have not been treated any better. The trust I felt in them was immediate. They had everything down to a science. They treated me with respect and caring that I hadn’t felt anywhere before. They listened to my concerns and eased my fears. The nurse put the IV where I asked her too, as I had a bad past experience with an IV in my hand. The nurses who were with me during the procedure were impressive, too. I felt total trust in the nurses, anesthesiologist and MD. Everyone was so nice and thoughtful. I recommend Waldron wholeheartedly. I trust them with my life, which is a big deal after spending a only a couple of hours with them. Luckily, I got the colonoscopy, as they found two polyps, and I had never had any before. They were removed and I don’t have to have another colonoscopy for five years. Please make an appointment with them if you have been putting it off. You won’t regret it. Colon polyps take a long time to grow into cancer, so this procedure can save your life!! The polyps are removed before they have a chance to turn cancerous. I admit, the prep is terrible, but it’s definitely worth living years longer!!"
"I was really nervous for my endoscopy but my doctor and nurses were amazing and helped put my mind at ease. They make your needs important and make your stay comfortable."
"Outstanding staff; all aspects of the procedure went very well. I was pleased with the entire experience."
"Nice building, lots of parking and easily accessible. Professional staff, overall pleasant atmosphere and experience."
"The staff was welcoming and friendly. They helped me feel relaxed. The facility is clean and well maintained."
"The whole process from start to finish was easy and efficient. Prep kit and instructions through the mail. Reminder texts and videos. Staff was kind and helpful. Quick and easy!"
"Excellent care."
"The doctor and nurses were very friendly and efficient, and the experience was quick and relatively painless."
