I was nervous about not having my procedure in a hospital but the surgery center was fantastic. Everyone was very attentive and explained every thing that was happening. It was comfortable and very professional.

Much care taken. Laughed at my jokes which lightened the mood. Clear instructions. Followed up to ensure I as doing well after. Told pain typically excruciating. I took NO pain meds. Highly recommend Dr. Rami Makhoul. Another procedure there with Dr. Darryn Band whom I’ve seen about 30 years.

Incidence of CRC Increasing in Younger Patients
A recent study conducted by AMSURG and researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai shows an increase in early-onset colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps in patients younger than 50.
As advertised. Only been two weeks but no problems so far. No surprises with the bill either.
