What People Say Jay Jul 6, 2021 This was not a bad experience. When I arrived for my procedure, I was greeted with a smile by the receptionist. Her demeanor was pleasant, professional and courteous. I signed a few documents, she took my temperature and then I was promptly ushered back to my ‘little room’ by Shelby. She was very pleasant and professional. She checked my blood pressure, asked a few questions of me then left while I changed into my new drawstring dress and matching socks. I was allowed to keep the socks. The RN then came into the room. Her name was Rachael. She was super nice and friendly, and seemed very good at her job. She inserted the IV line into my hand. I don’t mind needles at all so I was able to pay close attention to her technique. She was very, very easy and I barely felt the needle go in. One of the easiest sticks I can remember. When she left, the anesthesiologist walked in and introduced himself to me as Dr. Michel. He clearly explained to me what to expect and answered all of my questions. He was very professional, kind and supportive. I felt at total ease. When he was finished, we walked down to the procedure room where I was met by Dr. Pambianco and a young lady to whom I wasn’t introduced but gathered she may have been a nurse and assistant to the doctor. Dr. Pambianco struck me as a VERY well-qualified and very, VERY competent physician. I could tell right away that he was a very confident and experienced doctor, with great bedside manners. He asked a few questions of me. while all the time looking at me straight in the eyes with his undivided attention. He listened intently and was a very personable doctor. At this point, I was very calm and completely at ease. I knew that every person I had met that day were top-notch people… first-string players… the A-Team, if you will. I was helped to position myself over onto my left side by Dr. Michel and draped my right arm over the bed guard at his direction. After a few moments passed, Dr. Michel asked if I was ready, to which I replied yes. Within a few seconds, I could feel a deep warmth and a relaxing sensation coming over my whole body, followed by a pleasant tingling feeling, then… I awakened. I was back in my ‘little room’ where Nurse Rachael checked on me and offered a soda or some water. She asked me to put my clothes back on and that Dr. Pambianco would be in to see me shortly and speak with me. About 10 minutes later Dr. Pambianco came in and said everything looked good, only one small polyp. Yay! When he left, Shelby returned and walked me to my car, where my wife waited to drive me home. There were no residues from the sedation at all; it was very clean. I had no pain, no discomfort and no adverse side-effects. All in all, a complete success! I would highly recommend this establishment. It is my sincere hope that my positive review of C’ville Gastroenterology and Staff will help someone who needs this procedure to understand it is no big deal at all. Now, the prep on the other hand… (it’s not that bad, either). 😉 Our Services FAQs Contact Us Your Feedback Matters!
