Learn MoreThis was my third colonoscopy with Dr Lazarus at MidAtlantic Endoscopy. While these are never what I would call a “pleasant experience”, Dr Lazarus and his team did an excellent job in every respect; from scheduling, to communications, to professionalism, to bedside manner. Highly recommended.
A colonoscopy is never going to be fun, but the staff was kind, patient, and answered all my questions. Dr. Lalani made sure I knew exactly what was going to happen and made feel like I was in good hand. Nurses Rachel and Kim were great.

There is no way to make this a pleasant experience but Michelle, the anatheseologist, Heather, the nurse and Dr. Farrel were all professional and did their best to make me feel comfortable. Thanks!
