I had my colonoscopy yesterday 4/29/24 The experience was good everyone was professional,skilled and very nice. I was in and out of the procedure quickly and home resting within hours. My nurse ( I am sorry I can't recall her name ) go the IV in 1st try with little pain and that in itself was amazing. I highly recommend this center

All of the aids, nurses and other medical professionals at The Encinitas Endoscopy Center were precisely that...consummate professionals. Even though it was quite busy, I observed that every patient, myself included, received abundant personal attention. The staff were fully engaged with their assigned tasks with emphasis on preserving a relaxed, warm, welcoming atmosphere.Unfortunately, it is not possible for me to comment on Dr Madani procedural excellence because of the mind numbing excellence of the anesthesiologist ;)All I can say is that I awoke from the procedure feeling fine and refreshed and I have experienced no side effects in the days that followed.Thanks again for the exceptional care the entire team provided.

Had my colonoscopy here two days ago. Everyone was professional and kind the moment I walked in starting with Nancy at the front desk. Michelle was my nurse who put me at ease and explained everything that was about to happen. I was wheeled into the room and met the dr, where I made some seinfeld jokes, like hes never heard that 1000 times. I told him I did not want a lot of anesthesia as Im super sensitive to drugs. They happily obliged. Colonoscopys are not generally a painful procedure, in fact its mostly only here in the US where people prefer to go under. Why take that unnecessary risk? I was lightly sedated and awake for the whole procedure. I was able to watch on the monitor and ask questions. So interesting! Gratefully my colon is healthy! No polyps and good for 7 years. I remember everything. Definitely recommend the light sedation. Dr Delauro was kind and personable. Definitely recommend him. The nurse calls the next day to ck on on you. Thats a lot of calls he or she has to make. The prep the night before is the worst part of this procedure, but hey you lose a few lbs. This type of cancer is so preventable, its a no brainer, so go get your colonoscopy!
