I've been going to WEC for my procedure for 20 years now (Dr. Eaker). So much easier to schedule. I was able to get on the calendar within a few weeks...not a few months! Dr. Eaker is the best! The nurses and attendees are all extremely helpful and attentive.

This was my first colonoscophy. The prep procedure isn't fun drinking so much liquid in a short time frame and getting nauseous. However the time spent with caring nurses, especially an RN named Bernie helped me feel at ease with nausea medicine before surgery and nice oh so warm blankets! I woke up fairly quickly when I heard my name. My future trips will be hear. Dr Thompson was very thorough in explaining what he found.
