This was my fourth colonoscopy at College Heights Endoscopy Center. Dr. Lacey performed all of the procedures and I have always been pleased with the service provided by him, his nurses and administrative staff. A colonoscopy is not something I look forward to but College Heights Endoscopy Center makes the experience as pleasant as anyone one could. I also have to complement the Center for their COVID protocols.

The staff, Karen, Kim, Amy, and Dr. Park, were caring and professional. This was my 2nd visit and coincidentally my wife recently had her 2nd procedure too. We'll see them again in a few years.
