Dr. Herzig came highly recommended. I had a great telehealth appointment with her and then a seamless colonoscopy process. Everyone I encountered was helpful, friendly, and comforting.

This Endo Center is very nice. The staff is very friendly and engaging if you want. The Doctors and Nurses are top notch. They saved my life a year ago when they found a cancerous polyp in my colon. It was removed by the doctor doing my colonoscopy. When the biopsy came back testing positive for cancer, they told me I needed surgery to have that part of my colon removed to be sure they got it all. I did the surgery two and half months later due to Covid 19. Otherwise it would have been sooner. Long story short my report from surgery put my cancer at a stage 0. Thanks to the great job of removing the polyp properly and completely. Forever thankful to Dr.Gail Herzig
