The entire staff was very nice and knew what they were doing. The procedure did not take long at all. After the procedure was completed the doctor came out and spoke to me and explained what they had done and what they found. Thank goodness everything was fine and I will be seeing them in 10 years.

Recently had endoscope and colonoscopy done and experience could not have gone any smoother. Everyone was so amazing and Dr Berklehammer and staff were beyond wonderful. Excellent from start to finish.

I chose this facility because it has one of the best contracted rates with my insurance company and that had physicians who were reputable. It is not a newer building but it was clean and I felt safe. The staff at this facility were friendly and attentive. I trusted Dr. Lee and felt comfortable with him doing my procedures. The procedures went well and I received my findings before discharge. I would highly recommend Oak Lawn Endoscopy.

Get a Screening Colonoscopy for the Sake of Your Health and Your Family
Staying well during the coronavirus pandemic is important, but are you sacrificing your colon health by delaying what could be a life-saving colonoscopy? You may think staying at home is a way you can do your part to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but having a colonoscopy is a basic form of preventive care that could save your life.
All I can say is this establishment deserves 10 stars! I had put my colonoscopy off for 7 years, due to a fear of not knowing. I finally went in May 2021 due to concerns with my overall health. From the moment I walked through the doors my fears were somewhat eased. Very pleasant friendly welcoming staff. I wish I could remember everyone’s names of the nursing staff including the fabulous warm Anesthesiologist…10 stars to ALL. Now onto the Dr. Dr. Arndt was the same as his staff. I cannot say enough about his professionalism and at the same time his warm welcome and making me let go of any fears I may have had. Test results were quick! I’d advise anyone putting off their Colonoscopy for whatever reason to have it done at Dr. Arndt’s facility. Wish I had done it sooner. You will not regret it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
