The providers were great, the anesthesiologist and Dr. Kitzman who did the colonoscopy. They were pleasant, professional and Dr. Kitzman came into my recovery room right after I came back to full consciousness and told me the results. It was very nice to get immediate feedback. However, the written instructions for what I was required to do in preparation for the procedure were very authoritarian. Not pleasant, and actually not very professional. It put me on edge a bit. Unfortunately I had a small bowel obstruction that showed up several hours after the colonoscopy that took 2-1/2 days to resolve in the hospital. Apparently I got a kink in my small intestines that blocked movement of waste. My wife called the number given on the discharge instructions from the endoscopy center to get them involved with the bowel obstruction but we did not get a call back from them....ever. Not good.
