They took serious about my health before they treated me. And They gave me plenty of time after the medical procedure to recover before they let me depart from their facility.

Elective but Essential: Colonoscopy and Preventive Screenings Are Important for Your Health
Many hospitals and healthcare facilities are delaying elective surgeries and procedures, but it’s important to remember that colonoscopy screenings are essential for good health.
The facility is clean and nurses are nice, but the doctor (Dr Mumtaz Akram) who did my procedure is very unprofessional. I was told to check in at 10 am, but waited 2 hours there. I was told the doctor was late and the facility didn't know why the doctor was late, and didn't know where the doctor was. The doctor showed up last minute when I was in the procedure room with the oxygen mask and IV on already. He didn't talk to me at all, then i was knocked out. after the procedure the doctor disappeared only left me a very confusing report, and nobody can answer or explain my questions about the the report . Overall the facility is good, but the doctor performing the procedure is unprofessional and doesn't care about patient at all.
