This team of doctors and nurses are the BEST! Never had better care ever. They are very caring, polite and thorough. If you are looking for a great Digestive Doctor, I would definitely recommend these group of professionals for your care THANK YOU DHC for the great care

Dr. Boswell and all of the staff are wonderful! Everyone is so kind! Dr. Boswell has helped me with a couple of issues, that I’ve been dealing with forever, that no one took the time to see why! Dr. Boswell has my sincere gratitude! Alice, my favorite Rn, is the absolute best!! I ALWAYS have a rough time with IV’s, and she got my IV in on the first try! That RARELY happens, and I really appreciate her compassion and care, and listening to me when I explained my “yucky” veins!

This was a positive experience right from the start. It was my 2nd colonoscopy and could not have gone more smoothly! The facility was easy to find and navigate. I was made to feel comfortable right from the start. The process was extremely efficient and the entire staff was incredibly kind and caring as well as thorough and professional. I would definitely recommend the Digestive Health Center to anyone in need of their services.

I have seen Dr. Shaheen for a few diagnostic procedures over the years. I went yesterday for a Agd and everything went So smoothly. Everyone there was very friendly, check in was easy, and from the review of my medical history and placement of my I.V it was great. I have small veins , and have had alot of trouble with even getting into a vein. She got in with No discomfort- first try!! The anesthesiologist introduced himself to me- very nice guy, and then Dr. Shaheen came in to talk to me briefly prior to procedure. Everyone put me at ease and I knew everyone was very skilled and professional yet found things to laugh about throughout appt. Definately highly recommend facility and c will always go there for procedures!

Everyone treated me well, and with respect. The doctor and staff there seem to be very well trained, and very good at what they do. I can't say I enjoyed having a colonoscopy but since it was time to get one I'm glad I came to this facility! Thank you for treating me well.
