Folsom Sierra Endoscopy Center

Great team, excellent service all around. Everyone from the receptionist up ensures a comfort and welcoming environment... Service is provided with care and efficiency... I will definitely recommend the facility to anybody...

My visit was for the purpose of a colonoscopy screening. After checking in but before the procedure I was presented with a variety of forms to sign and date, some of which referred to the type of anesthesia the doctor would use. I was introduced to a member of the staff, perhaps the anesthesiologist, who went by the name of Camille. She explained that I would probably be given a light "twilight" anesthetic. But when I awoke from the procedure my discharge paperwork stated "deep sedation provided by certified nurse anesthesia provider." While the information as to what anesthesia I received was disclosed to me in writing post-op I was hardly in a position to read or question the staff about it after having just woken up from the procedure. My intent is to determine why I was given deep instead of light sedation. Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks

After being approved for cataract surgery w/the multi lens - During my consultation, I was told that I had 2 options. #1: would be to receive very slight sedation, along w/stuff in eye to numb it & for pain & I’d be totally awake for the procedure or #2: A little more on the sedated side. I was told I may even drift off briefly for a couple of minutes. I’d get stuff in my IV for relaxation, sedation & pain as well as the drops in the eye for numbness, pain & infection protection. I immediately agreed for option #2!! I told the dr. I wanted to be as close to out as possible. Option #2 was supposed to be noted. I had a witness to what I agreed to in the room during the consult procedure My first surgery on my right eye on 3/16 was perfect no complaints! I was comfortable & had no pain until that afternoon at home, which was expected However my 2nd surgery on 3/23, I received very little, the bare minimum, for sedation, relaxation or for pain in my IV AND what I did receive was almost AN HOUR BEFORE the actual surgery took place. I did not feel comfortable, relaxed or numb. I asked TWO different times to the nurses “When am I supposed to get stuff in my IV like I did with my first surgery”?? Even on my way to surgery room, I asked again - then in the room I asked the dr. the same thing! I told him I did not feel as numb as I did the week prior for my 1st surgery. I was very uncomfortable, uneasy & was in pain during the procedure. According to the drug info sheet for both surgeries, I did not get the same meds for pain, relaxation, sedation or numbness, which I opted for (#2) that I asked for. I did not want to see or feel anything in my eye. With the 2nd surgery, I did NOT receive 4 to 5 different medications in my IV that I received with the 1st surgery (Amphaase, Bupivacaine or Lidocaine 2%). I got my MIDAZOBUM at 12:16 and propanol at 12:23 however, my surgery did not happen until about 1:20 which was an hour after I got anything in my IV. I was very upset & uneasy about not receiving the treatment & IV medication that I did w/the 1st Surgery. Honestly, I feel that it was either overlooked or someone forgot to administer the medication in the IV & nobody would listen to me! As of 3/23, especially w/what I’ve paid, I should’ve gotten the same injectable rs’s for both surgeries w/my IV (and treatment) especially after asking TWO nurses AND the doctor of when I was gonna get it - that’s what I opted for was to be a little more sedated than just a mild sedation. I was scared to death of anything instruments, blades lasers anything coming towards my eye. Just wanted to have the same experience as the 1st surgery - which it was definitely not - it was awful!! I’m pleased with the results but very upset about the 2nd procedure & treatment I received (or should I say: Didn’t get). Don’t believe the bull about ppl sitting up during procedures. Etc. that I was told by surgery Dr. @post op appt. (because they’ve been given too much RX thru IV) * Their head is STRAPPED down!!! The truth is, I opted for option #2, didn’t get that for 2nd surgery and NOBODY would listen, cared about what I was saying! I’m convinced that I didn’t get what I asked for on 2nd one & what I did get was practically worn off by surgery time & nobody would listen!! The check in receptionist & checkout nurses were great!

The front desk staff is very friendly and personable. The facility is clean and the surgical team is kind and professional. They made my treatment and care very easy. I would recommend this facility to all my friends and family

Positively immaculate and well-appointed place to go for my hand surgery. The place is staffed with the most professionally knowledgeable and super friendly people who go the extra mile to make sure that extra warm blanket goes on you right before you go into that cold operating room or make sure your legs are comfortably settled over a second pillow. Even the valet guy was so nice. Dr Jay Talsania is a terrific doctor with his pleasant bedside manner, his patience in answering every single question, and obvious caring in that he actually makes time during his busy surgical schedule to check in with each of his patients.
