My endoscopy at Parkside was as pleasant as could be. The seemed happy and we're Very thoughtful and friendly. Julie did a perfect stick for the line for anesthetic! Virtually no blood and almost couldn't find the hole when bandage came off after a few hours. Everyone explained what they were doing and why. That's a big plus to me! And all caring. Stress reduced as the process went on! Dr. Gilbert was also pleasant and thoughtful throughout. No sense of needing to rush, or wanting to 'get to lunch'. Altogether, as nice as that sorry if thing could be!
Very excellent staff, I was very impressed by their professionalism. Made feel comfortable the whole time 🤟
