My experience at the La Jolla Endoscopy Center was excellent. From check in to release I was treated with kindness, and competency. They were well prepared and organized. Each person who interacted with me knew their role and had reviewed my history. I left with the results in my hand with the doctor’s comments printed out for me. These folks really know what they are doing.
