1st time I've gone to this office since Dr. Jarvis retired and with that it's 100% better

I wanna thank Dr. Michael J. Coffey and the wonderful staff at Tennessee Endoscopy for taking such great care of me. It was my first time, so I was kind of nervous but it was honestly truly painless and I was home by 930am after the procedure. God bless you all.

I had a procedure done and all the staff was kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend this to family or friends for any procedure. I've had both and they are pretty quick too!
