The Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada on Shadow Lane is just one branch of the Gastroenterology Center of Nevada, a 14-doctor practice with six locations, three physicians' assistants and about 60 employees valleywide. Some of the company's locations have clinics for endoscopies and colonoscopies, while others house only doctors' offices:

Are you providing this, or can you tell me where to have it done for free? I do not feel I should have to pay to see my Dr to get a referral and then pay to get the test done. I am VERY disarmed and alarmed about this. SHAME ON YOU>>>

    Dear Sir or Madam
    I am so upset at these doctors and these clinics and your nurses that were in on all of this irresponsible nosense. I have been to some of these clinics and seen some of these doctors and nurses who injected flu shots into me, drawn lots of blood from me because I am ab positive. So I need someone to get back to me asap to give me a contact number or to tell me where to go to get these free checks to see if I am infected with any of these diseases they talk about everyday on the tv. I think I went to several of these clinics from 2003 through 2007.

    Thank you very much and have a nice day.
