I made an appointment with Elms Endoscopy Center, and I have to say, that after reading the reviews, I was a bit nervous about going to get a colonoscopy and an upper endoscopy. I went in the day of my appointment and I showed Dr. Gregory Goodear the reviews.
He assured me that there was nothing to worry about. In fact, he apologized for the center receiving a couple of bad reviews. He promised he would take good care of me and that he would follow up with me as soon as I woke up from recovery.
Doctor Goodear, the anesthesiologist, and the nurses explained what was going to happen step by step and they were very attentive to me...they were very upbeat and we even joke a little before I was put under. I must say I was very relaxed and no longer nervous.
When I woke up (which seemed like a minute later) the first face I saw was my beautiful wife and our 4yr old gorgeous granddaughter ! They brought both of them into the recovery room to be there for me when I woke up ( that was a class act by the doctors! )
And as promised, Dr. Goodear came in to see how I was doing and told me that everything went well...he showed me my results...removed 3 polyps and he found and ulcer in my stomach. He gave me medicine for my ulcer, and sent the polyps, and a part of the ulcer to be analyzed for cancer.
I received a follow up call about two days later to see how I was doing and to see if I had any questions. A week later I received my result showing that the polyps and the ulcer were benign. Dr. Goodear will see me again in 6 weeks to follow up with the ulcer and he wants to see me every 5 years for future colonoscopies.
The facility is very clean, everyone there is very friendly, I was there for about just under 2 hours (with both procedures done). My bill was never discuss, they handled everything with the insurance company and I never got a bill.
My experience was more than great, I would recommend anyone to Dr. Goodear. Make sure you mention these reviews and let him know how others feel about him...
