Learn MoreI'm 60 years old and as usual I was very very apprehensive about a colonoscopy, having never had one before. But in the last 6 years I have had differing health issues which resulted in a slew of prescribed medications that my doctor felt a colonoscopy was need to rule out any other potential underlining concerns. Glendora Gastrointestinal was above and beyond what I ever could've expected. Friendly, kindhearted staff who understood humor in stressful situations for a patient is priceless. My procedure from the time I walked into the center till I was wheeled out to my waiting daughter's car was was so easy breasy. The staff, nurses & doctor were a dream. I went to sleep and woke up...now how much better could that ever be.
I had a good experience with Glendora Digestive Disease center. They were clean, friendly, and explain everything g thoroughly.
Staff was friendly and efficient. The only frustrating part was that I waited in the lobby for over an hour and was finally told the doc was running late.
