I need to have a scope done on my stomach don't have insurance

I had my second appointment this morning and they did an endoscopy because I've been nauseous since I got sick at the end of January and have lost 10/15lbs in the last couple of months so they're checking to make sure I'm overall pretty healthy. During the procedure, the only time things got eventful was while they were putting me under anesthesia because I started gagging on the bite guard, which isn't surprising for me as it's common for me to gag in dentist appointments, and while I was going under, the nurse and anesthesiologist reacted quickly to my gagging and were doing everything they could to reassure me that everything was okay and I think the anesthesiologist was stroking my hair, which is a very soothing thing for me, and that is the last thing I remember before waking up afterwards. Throughout the time remaining in their care, they were checking on me to make sure I was okay and I also received a phone call a couple hours after they let me leave with my dad who picked me up because they were wanting to check in on me. While I'm not sure if they react like that for all patients or were just being extra soothing because of my multiple mental disorders including anxiety, I'm incredibly appreciative of their response even though I wasn't worried but rather just like this sucks and focused on the nurse due to gagging on the bite guard not being pleasant because it definitely helped make the situation not as awful as it could have been. If I ever need any other procedures done, south view and them are the two places I'd trust to do any procedures I may need in the future

I am updating my review now because they finally agreed to let me in the waiting room and help her get dressed. I will leave a third review after the procedure.

The whole staff is wonderful from start to finish. Very friendly and professional and they put you at ease. We have seen Dr Verma for years and highly recommend him. Im very picky about my medical care so if I give 5 stars you know theyre good! 😊

Today I had a colonoscopy done by Dr. Szemetylo with Genesis Digestive Disease Specialist at Genesis Hospital. I want to say thank you to my Doctor and all the nurses that worked with me. They were very accommodating to my serious, very serious fear of needles. I had no medication or IV’s during the procedures. Everyone there was comforting and talked me through the steps. They allowed me to watch the video of the procedure. Due to no past history of complaints or surgeries to my abdomen, I had no pain or compilations. So, for everyone that is being FORCED by their employers and insurances to comply to medical wellness programs, a colonoscopy is easy. Of course, if you are not afraid of needles I would say follow doctors orders especially if you have had past surgeries to provide comfort for yours. Again, thank you to Dr. Szemetylo and his wonderful team of nurses, your the best.
