Learn MoreThis is my second visiting to Endoscopy Center of Marin. These type of procedures are never fun. But the Staff, Nurses and Doctors make your experience as comfortable as possible. Not only would I recommend this facility, I recommend everyone to get checked!
Very pleasant experience. Dr Hogan was so sweet and professional. My nurse was kind and personable. The anesthesiologist was friendly and funny. They had a lot of patients in at the same time but they buzzed in and out past each other very smoothly. My procedure started on time and went perfectly well.
They have a very efficient system in place. One thing: it is usually not difficult to insert an IV in my veins and yet the nurse was rough and bruised me badly. When in doubt, please be gentle first.
I had a colonoscopy last week and I would like to compliment everyone I came into contact with at the Endoscopy Center of Marin. This was my second time there, and as with the first time, everyone was kind, courteous, caring, and professional. My nurse, Liz, could not have been nicer, and Dr. Hogan was wonderful. They both made me feel as comfortable as possible. I would not hesitate to highly recommend the Endoscopy Center of Marin to anyone.

I had to get a screening colonoscopy and moved from SF to Marin recently and ended up here because it was close and convenient. I’ve read some somewhat so so reviews online so wasn’t sure what to expect and I had a super pleasant experience. Dr. Sharma was great, the CRNA was great, and the whole thing was fast and painless. I was super anxious and they quelled all my fears and made me as comfortable as possible. Scheduling and the whole prep process was easy as well. Not sure what the deal is with any of the negative reviews, but I wanted to come on here and write this one since I feel like people often only write these kinds reviews when they have something negative to say.
