Great staff and a painless procedure

Posted By Chopin

"Great staff and a painless procedure"

About: Musgrove Park Hospital / Diagnostic Imaging

(as the patient),

I had been told that the planned procedure could be very painful so the day before and on the actual day I was very concerned and nervous.

However from the moment I arrived and spoke to the staff my nerves abaited but I was still concerned.

Once on the endoscopy examination table I was totally unaware that the procedure had started as I felt nothing at all.

The whole process lasted less than 30 minutes and was totally pain free.

I would thoroughly recommend this procedure as it is a way of getting yourself checked over for any possible signs of cancer or other abnormalities.

Great staff and a painless procedure.

Many thanks to all the staff at the Endoscopy suite.

Dear Chopin

Thank you for leaving such a positive review of the endoscopy service. I know that many people are anxious about having to undergo this type of procedure, so it is fantastic that you have shared your experience with us. I will share your comments with the endoscopy team as its good to hear such positive feedback.

Best wishes

Laura

No problem at all, I am by nature a very nervous anxious patient, so to have such a pleasant experience deserves airing.
