Ottawa Gastrointestinal Institute

For a procedure no one wants to attended, the nurse doctor’s receptionists were all very pleasant. Music in all common areas including the procedure room definitely set the vibe and help keep anxiety at bay!Very grateful for these professionals.

Staff was incredibly kind, pleasant and made me feel at ease. Great Doctor as well. It was quick, painless and treated so professionally. I know it can be an embarrassing procedure, however the importance of having a colonoscopy may save your life.

My experience at the Ottawa Gastrointestinal Institute was excellent. They are very well organized. Everyone that I came into contact with was kind and extremely helpful. I would recommend this to everyone.

I've been fortunate to be one of Dr. Boushey's patients for 18 years and would find it difficult to entrust my care to anyone else. The staff at OGI are caring and professional. I wish I could recall the anesthesiologist's name from my appt. yesterday to personally thank him for his kind bedside manner. Most appreciated!

I came today for my first colonoscopy, everything was very well communicated since the beginning of the appointment. I received several days before all the instructions to be prepared for it.Today at the location everything was fine, except I had to wait for an hour to proceed to the preparation area.The place is very clean, nice and with the latest technology. The personnel is very professional and human.See you in 5 years.

The colonoscopy procedure was expertly done , the doctors and anesthesiologist were friendly and informative about everything involved. The nurses were kind and attentive, I felt safe and in good hands.

Very efficient check in procedure. Smooth if you have read everything they send you in advance and if you print/complete/bring the forms. Monitor in waiting area provides info that prepares you for the procedure, explains the process, and gives you some data. The prep process in curtains with Jeff was smooth, professional, and courteous, and Dr. Sy (Gastroenerologist) and Dr. Obeck (Anesthesiologist, spelling??) had excellent 'bedside manner'. The other doc or nurse who got me to the procedure room was also excellent. Very comfortable throughout. If you are required to have this procedure done, follow the instructions carefully, and plan a nice meal to treat yourself afterwards. Thanks to the staff of OGI!

I was really nervous for this exam but in the end I was pleasantly surprised. Efficient communication with the front desk and clear instructions. I only waited for about 20 minutes. I had an appointment at 10:30 and left the clinic at 12. The anesthesiologist introduced himself before the procedure and was really friendly. He explained the process and answered my questions. I was afraid I was going to feel something but in the end I was knocked out by the sedation. Didn't feel a thing. Dr Tambay was very professional and efficient. I can only recommend this clinic and it was probably one of my best experiences with healthcare in Canada up till now (being from Europe).

Pleasant staff, reception, nurses, doctors. Efficiently run clinic. Everything they do is clearly explained, making the procedure easy to have. The prep is not pleasant but well worth the trouble to have a good examination.

I had a wonderful experience. One of the best medical experiences I have had since moving to Canada as a immigrant. As a black patient, the staff treated me respectfully. They listened and were responsive as I narrated my symptoms before, during, and after the procedure. Thank you.
