“I was really worried about having a colonoscopy but I have to say the whole process was so much better than I could have hoped. The staff at Intus were so friendly and professional and my surgeon Ian went above and beyond to make me comfortable. At no stage did I feel exposed or uncomfortable and having a big screen to watch what the camera was seeing was a great way to occupy my mind.” –Sandi Aldridge

REVIEWS:
“As a short term visitor to Christchurch I didn’t have anyone to collect me after the procedure and so I opted for the procedure without sedation. It was not painful or even uncomfortable at any time. It was interesting to be able to see a large TV screen showing inside my colon and the Dr and nursing staff were professional and friendly. If I required a procedure in the future I would again choose not to be sedated. It was fine, really. Perhaps if a patient was suffering from abdominal pain, a sedative would be preferable.” –Ian Hornby
