What Our Patients Have to Say


"Today's experience in your Centre was one that I cannot thank you enough for. I have not had many medical procedures and the thought of this test was disturbing. But your team relieved anxiety in the most kind and most professional fashion, made me very comfortable throughout everything."

The staff was amazing, world class. In a time when all you hear are bad things about health care in Calgary, this was definitely a very good experience. The nurses were very caring and kind, and the doctor was professional and caring. Amazing job. Thank you so much for taking care of me."

"I am very impressed and pleased with the nurses and doctor who looked after me. They were friendly, reassuring, and professional. The screening centre is also a clean, pleasant environment. Keep up the good work and thank you."

"I have nothing but praise for the entire staff, from reception to nurses and doctor. The facility is excellent. My thanks to Forzani Charities for making it possible for me to receive this screening in such a pleasant and timely fashion."

"Insofar as a medical procedure is concerned, this was a first class deal. Right from the location, the equipment, to the people...they were great. I don't know if you really get thanks from people, but I want to say THANK YOU."

"My first colonoscopy, so I didn't know what to expect, but was very impressed with the facilities, reception staff, and treatment by nurses and doctor. Thank you."

"I would like to comment on the nursing staff and Dr. Bass - Thank you for making this a very positive experience. You are all very professional and I thank you for making what I thought would be a very unpleasant situation into a very pleasant experience - Congratulations to all for making me feel at ease. Thanks. Keep up the good work!"

"All the staff were great. If you can have a great time with a nonsedated colonoscopy, it was as pleasant an experience as possible."

"Perhaps add some commentary to the preparation literature describing typical responses to the medications (ie it is not until after taking the Pico-Salax that the bowel movements really became frequent). I took 2 days off work to prepare, and in reality had I known the impact of Ducolax pills on day 1 (two days before) was not that severe I could have gone to work that day and only missed one day of work."

"I think the service was fabulous. Everyone I encountered was professional and friendly, thus making the experience less intimidating. I found the information sheet on what to expect useful and the plans to help me prepare (eg exact dates and times to take the stool softener and laxatives and how much fluid and what types to drink) was clear and easy to follow. Keep up the good work!"

"I would recommend to everyone that this screening centre is the only place to have their scanning done. In no way did I ever feel uncomfortable like I expected to. Thank you all. Although the doctor was running late that day, even the long wait was comfortable!"
