Patient Reviews
Jun 28, 2018
I had a colonoscopy yesterday. I can’t recommend Dr Bristow and his entire team highly enough! Makes a world of difference when everyone is friendly and in a good mood. The care I received was the best. Got a follow up call today. No problems, no pain, no issues at all. Next colonoscopy (hopefully years from now) I will call Dr Bristows Office and ask for him.
