This was my first visit with Tennessee Endoscopy Center as my previous procedures were at a different facility! This facility far exceeds my previous place! Each person was friendly, caring and kind! They explained everything to me before they did anything! Dr. Cline and the nurses were beyond exceptional! I highly recommend this facility!

I was nervous going in for my first colonoscopy, and on Halloween no less! Everyone was dressed in costume and there was a good energy in the office. The staff was very professional and helpful. Just imagine getting your first colonoscopy done by a doctor dressed up like Chucky!!😂 Dr. Smith was great! I don’t know if I’d say it was a “treat” but at least this Halloween trick wasn’t so bad!

The dreaded Colonoscopy….This team made it so much easier than expected. I was very anxious when I arrived at the Center but I found out immediately that this was going to be much better than I thought. They were super! The nurses, the anesthesia people and Dr. Coffey were are very supportive and made sure I was comfortable and relaxed. Everything went so smooth and if I had to go back soon, I would not dread it again! Thank you all and God bless your work.

Super friendly staff, fast easy procedure. And Nurse Patti is the BEST at IV insertion, hands down.

Schedule Your Colonoscopy or GI Procedure Before Year End
If you have met your deductible, now is an excellent time to schedule a GI procedure, including a screening colonoscopy, before the year ends.
I had a very good experience. Staff was friendly and very professional. I was in and out in a little over an hour.
