I have had colonoscopies at this clinic site with another medical provider; my most recent experience was with Dr. Siddaiah. Unlike my other experiences where I had a pre-procedure appointments and saw the provider directly post-procedure, my only contact with Dr. Siddaiah was limited to a very brief encounter in the procedure room before the colonoscopy. I did not meet or see him following the procedure and received my results from the nurse. I am grateful that the outcome of the procedure was good; perhaps this was the reason for the nurse’s report and instructions (very thorough and complete) and not from the doctor. I also experienced dysphasia for a couple of hours following the colonoscopy. I was able to speak to a nurse and Dr. Siddaiah both within an hour from my call to report this condition. While the exact reason for the dysphasia is not known, it may have been a side effect from the anesthesia. I will be noting this in my medical records in the future. While I believe that the colonoscopy was completed with medical expertise, I would have appreciated more contact with Dr. Siddaiah for pre and post procedure information.
