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.

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.
