I’m not kidding they all were so personable and easy to talk to, not to mention their medical knowledge, I felt very safe, . I was absolutely in the best hands ever!

Dr Golinson and the whole team are great. Friendly professional and extremely good at what they do.
I had a colonoscopy last week at NVEC and it was the most positive experience I've ever had at a surgical center OR hospital. The doctor and medical staff were superb. They thoroughly reviewed everything with me before I was tested and there were no complications during and after the procedure. I am very grateful to all of them.
Everyone is very courteous and professional. Highly recommend.
