He was very professional, explained the problem I was having, was informative about follow-up possibilities considering my family history but not pushy. His staff was excellent -- considerate, thoughtful, very patient with me as I got lost in the Reston complex, , and a member of his staff even walked a long distance to locate me and escort me to the right garage and location.

Routine colonoscopy based on age. Easy treatment from prep to finish, confident team of skilled professionals. Just a lot of paperwork but that's typical. Wait time was 50 minutes but this was within time expected for this procedure -- instructed to arrive one hour in advance.
