Patient Reviews
Apr 19, 2019
I had a consultation, colonoscopy/endoscopy and follow-up with Dr. Koehler. This was an exceptional experience with Dr. Koehler and his assistant nurse Bryan. The instructions and procedures were explained in full. The procedures had no compIications with no side affects. The results were explained in detail. Luckily, they were in my favor. I would definitely return to him for any surgery. Thanks,
