Several gastroenterologists perform procedures here and each doctor has a team. My doctor, Dr Shahnawaz Jaffar, put together a great team and everything went well with my endoscopy. I liked it so much that I’m going back next week for a colonoscopy! Seriously, though, Dr Jaffar and his team were wonderful and I was impressed with the professionalism of the other teams as well. If you need to to have any of the procedures performed here, then you’ve come to the right place.

I'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.
