Tri-State Endoscopy Center

I had to assist a friend with their endoscopy and I was very pleased with the TSEC.
Parking — very close to the building and has a dedicated parking lot. In Clifton, this is a godsend.
The staff — pretty nice and explained everything.
WiFi — Great speed and I had no trouble connecting my devices. *It is only «on» Mon-​Fri 6am-​6pm
Magazines — there were not many to choose, but they were current and representative of diverse interests (Sports Illustrated, Time, Cincinnati Mag.)
The patient and friend are notified via a vibrating and beeping restaurant type pager device that fits in a pocket and has sufficient range that works not only in the upstairs waiting room, but in the parking lot as well.
Misc — The coat rack is large and has plenty of room for coats. The bathroom has really cold water, the hot water did not seem to be hooked up. Not necessary to have clean hands, but it was kind of annoying.
Waiting Room — The waiting room on the second floor is nice and a decent place to spend a half hour to an hour. There is even a computer if you don’t have a laptop!
There is no microwave. There is a small vending machine with some snacks and whatnot.
The TV was in working order and I was able to essentially mute it since I was not watching it.
The recovery area is open but is individually draped off for visual privacy. Sadly I overheard someone talking about their chemo and after just seeing 50/​50, I felt bad for them.
Patients (homophonic pun intended) are scheduled 1 hour before the actual appointment and we certainly waited a looooong time.
I think we were there about and hour and a half or longer before our buzzer went off.
While I hope that I never need to be ‘scoped, TCEC is a decent place with competent healthcare professionals.
