Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great colonoscopy experience
Everyone says the prep is terrible. It wasn’t as bad as I anticipated and the actual procedure was just the best nap I’ve ever had. Special shout out to Stacey the nurse that was in the preop area, super sweet. Get your colonoscopy done if you’re due, much better than having cancer.

Scheduled colonoscopy
The staff were very friendly from check in to check out. Everything went so smoothly and on time. The receptionist saw my nervousness and she made me feel more confident that everything was going to be okay. Dr. Ellet was very thorough about the entire procedure. I highly recommend.

Disappointed
Had an appointment with Dr.Ellett. I checked in and was told by the receptionist that there might be a little bit of a delay as Dr Ellett was driving back from the hospital. So I sit down in the waiting room. about 10 minutes later the Nurse showed up, took me back to the examination room. Took All my vitals, prescriptions, etc. and then left saying I would be seen soon. I waited about an hour in the examination room with no updates. I looked out into the hallway couldn’t find anybody sit back down in the room. No one ever showed up so I went up to the receptionist and she couldn’t tell me when Dr Ellett would be back . So I said when can I see him? She got on her computer and said I would not be able to see him until sometime in October at the earliest. Have not heard from anyone ..

The office kindly notified me they were running late prior to my arrival so I didn’t have to wait too long. The office staff are nice and competent. Dr Ellett listens to my issues and has helped get some of my problems straightened out over the years. My entire family uses him.
