Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very professional, courteous and knowledgeable.

Complete professionalism
Dr. Parava and her entire staff were professional, courteous, informative, and kind. Even though they were running a little behind, the wait was not bad (30 min. or so). The actual procedure went great. The only drawback was that once in the back and in the gown, I was freezing. The nurse in the back apologized, but told me they didn't have extra blankets. Overall, the experience was great and I highly recommend Dr. Parava's services.

Try to get an appointment
She refused to see me even after my Doctor sent a referral upon my request due to her ratings. I just through hoops getting ever thing they asked for. After 2 weeks of pain her office notified my Doctor they wouldn't see me giving NO explanation as to why I was denied. Person on the phone was very blunt. I would have settled for we're not taking any new patients, but that's not what happened. They told me to get a Referral which I did the next day. Maybe you'll have better luck seeking help when you are at your worst. They obviously didn't care about my misery and pain that I was going through for two weeks. Now I'm on to the next doctor trying to find help. I don't recommend this office to anyone!!!

First time colonoscopy
Everyone at this facility is SO helpful and will put you at ease! From additional information to make the prep easier to the nurses helping calm you before and after, to the anesthesiologist being friendly and informative, and of course, Dr. Parava’s excellent and caring bedside manner, my family will choose this facility every time.

Doctor and staff were attentive and polite. I was greeted by everyone and told what they were going to do. After procedure Dr Parava returned and told me of findings. Most of the time this is done by the nurse. I really appreciated the attentiveness of the staff and Dr Parava.
