Patient Reviews
Oct 12, 2022
I had a positive Cologuard result. I was disturbed and made an appointment with Dr. Getachew for a Colonoscopy at Mayo Lacross. I felt cared for from the moment I made an appointment. Dr. Getachew gave me a sense of calm just by walking into a room. He was very kind and had an excellent bedside manner. He was thorough and explained everything.
