The whole procedure ran smoothly. Dr. Walsh and staff keeps your family informed. They are excellent in what they do and the care is like no other . In this day it is hard to find a more dedicated and professional Dr. We were extremely satisfied.

Patients Skip Colon Cancer Screenings Because of Obesity Stigma

The experience at the time of the procedure was fine. However I never receiveed any results on a biopsy and a month later got a bill for $522.31 with zero explanation of why. I don't think I should have to pay anything without receiving results at the very least.
