I called in November for an appointment and did not get scheduled until May and my condition has been longstanding from lack of treatment with another provider. Dr. Contino is also concerned with the length of time that I have been dealing with my issue. I scheduled a Colonoscopy and endoscopy at the check out counter. The first appointment was mid July? I have the impression that Dr. Contino is worried about me and would like the study ASAP. I was thinking of calling to schedule the endoscopy alone or try to schedule at the hospital. as opposed to Mount Laurel. since the upper GI is my main area of complaint. Dr. Contino has no idea that I waited 6 months for the initial appointment. I felt this information is important for you to know. Thank you.
