Patient Reviews
May 12, 2018
Since I have had the unfortunate experience of having colon cancer, I'm now on the once a year colonoscopy program. Last week I elected to get the colon lavage instead of going through the dreaded drink and staying up half the night. After ingesting only liquids the day before, I arrived at Dr. Huilgol's office and had a 45 minute cleansing that was not a bit uncomfortable or messy administered by a lovely young lady who was most attentive to me and my needs. Soooo much better!!!!
