I received excellent care for my procedure today. Rockford GI never disappoints, my family, friends and myself have had many procedures and appointments there in the past, great experience every time! All the doctors there are top notch. One of my favorite practices in town!
Met him briefly before and after the procedure, he was very reassuring and it went very smoothly. Couldn't have asked for better care.
