I was put onto a chair and told to get dressed shortly after waking from the anesthesia.I was the last patient of the day. I fell onto the floor landing on my side. The staff continued to hustle me out the door. I was in a great deal of pain which continued for four days afterward . Finally I went to the ER and had an x-ray taken. TWO BROKEN RIBS AND A LARGE HEMATOMA. I was told that it would take months to heal and for the pain to subside The staff never called nor followed up on my visit to ask how I was doing. I AM VERY ANGRY. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND . ZERO STARS

Dr. Baig and his staff were very attentive and took great care of me. He took great care and time in explaining the procedures I had to undertake, which made my experience much easier.

This office guides you through the process from making an appointment to leaving safely after your procedure. The office staff is very helpful and the nurses are terrific. The entire staff keeps this office running impeccably smooth. Dr.Baig performed my Endoscopy and Colonoscopy simultaneously. He is a true professional and has a pleasant bedside manner. He is thorough in his explanations, patient with you and more than willing to answer questions. I highly recommend making your appointment here! You will feel comfortable and confident you're in the right place. take the time to answer your questions. He listens as you express your concerns which is why he is so good at what he does.
