I would like to thank Dr. Roark and his staff. They took very good care of me. His staff was very professional. I was checked in at a timely manner. The staff who prepped me for my procedure was awesome. She had other patients she was getting ready for a procedure. I was amazed at how she was doing her job. Didn't skip a beat. The young man who prepped me to be put to sleep. He was great ,explained step by step what I would be experiencing. Dr. Roark was great with explaining my procedure. After my procedure, Dr. Roark came to let me know my results. Which was very good. I would recommend this office to any one needing a Colonoscopy. Thanks alot for all you did to make me feel comfortable.
