I recently had a colonoscopy and endoscopy at GIEA. It was a fantastic experience. I was nervous about the IV being placed and my nurse Trina was able to insert it immediately. In addition, my doctor, Dr. Stephenson, performed my procedures and I did not feel a thing. When I woke up, I did not have any pain and was able to eat a meal afterwards. I highly recommend them to anyone who has to have either of these procedures.
