The pre-procedure consultation with Dr. Mourani was informative and reassuring. The instructions for preparing for the procedure were straightforward and easy to follow. The day of the procedure check in was easy. Both the RN and Anethesiaologist were kind and friendly and dispelled any worries I had. The post procedure was just as kind and friendly. Dr. Mourani provided a review of his findings and what to expect in the future. Dr. Mourani and Valley Digestive Health Center provided exceptional service and made everything easy.
