Testimonials

Stars
I had a great experience with Borland Groover. I was nervous for my endoscopy and the staff made sure it was a great experience. They are efficient and caring. The front desk staff, nurses, anesthesia, and the doctor went above and beyond to make sure I had everything explained to me and that I was very comfortable. There was also hardly any wait for the procedure and the check in, pre-op, and post-op process was flawless.

Everyone from the entrance to the procedure and back were super friendly, patient, thorough and took the time to explain everything. Great team of professionals. It put my mind at ease as a patient. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a GI doctor. They are the go to for all things GI.

Everyone was so friendly! They welcomed me upon arrival, and were very polite. My doctor took the time to answer all my questions, and I didn't feel rushed during my visit. The facility is clean and bright, which helped me feel more at ease.
