Patient Reviews
Nov 01, 2024
I appreciate the Optum Endoscopy's following up on me post colonoscopy procedure. I felt better post op with no complications. Able to eat with no nausea or vomiting. No abdominal pain at all. Everyone is great including Erika RN, Chris CRNA and of course Dr. Hjelkrem. Post Op RN Nyala was amazing too. I totally appreciate everybody. The best experience me myself as a Nurse/ NP was dragging for years due to my hectic schedule.Will definitely recommend to families and friends. Everybody took their time to explain procedural expectations! They deserve 5 stars!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
