Dr. Puente is a good listener about your concerns and issues. He does not rush you. He investigates what you say. Besides his great bedside manner he is an exceptional physician in his field.I am really nervous for any procedures but over the years I have had a number of colonoscopies with Dr. Puente and I am not nervous at all. His calm matter makes you confident in the procedure.Marylyn H
