I would have to say my first and only experience with La Jolla Endoscopy Center was the absolute best experience I have had with any medical staff. The nurses were fantastic, welcoming, friendly, while being very efficient and professional in their treatment. Dr. Mayer extended the same feeling of being welcomed and friendly and professional as his staff. While my time with him was not long, it was the appropriate amount and he made me very comfortable that I was in good hands. My only regret is that due to the results of the procedure and my age this will probably be my last Colonoscopy and therefore will probably not be seeing the great staff, nurses and doctors, at the La Jolla Endoscopy Center again.
