Patient Reviews
Jan 03, 2022
Making the appointment was simple. The office manager returned my call very quickly even in these days of Covid remote working. Dr. Shpaner answered all my questions easily and we worked out a way forward for scheduling the colonoscopy. The procedure was completed as scheduled and the follow-up took place as scheduled.
