"I recently had a colonoscopy at SCH. My Admitting Nurse, Jess, Technician, Kayla, Discharge Nurse, Colin, my Gastroenterologist, Dr. Morris Elevado and your entire surgical team, including your volunteer staff, did an amazing job. The entire team made me feel very comfortable and provided me with great service. They each demonstrated great care as well as incredible expertise while caring for me today."
