First time I saw Dr B. Consult for a colonoscopy, prior colonoscopy from another doctor showed troubling results and I was told I need another one right away. Dr. B agreed and scheduled it for next week - very fast in my opinion. Very knowledgeable, professional, personable, and immediately inspired confidence in him

Dr Bedford is a very busy practitioner so it takes a few months before you can make an appointment. I had to wait about three months before seeing him and of course would have preferred a shorter time. But Dr Bedford's expertise in this area was worth waiting for and was able to answer all my questions about my condition.

Dr Bedford is a great provider, I likely did not thank him as I was too much in my own head, and I hope that through this survey he can be thanked again on my behalf
