    He put me at ease, explained everything before he did anything and the possible causes afterwards. I know him from WHH, but he wouldnt know me. I knew I was in great hands.

    I have seen dr Honer once and then for a colonoscopy that I needed due to my previous dr from out of state that wanted me to have another colonoscopy due to medical issues from previous year. He is a very good dr that I wanted to for my colonoscopy. His assistant was vert good at explaining all the procedure requirements needed and I received the papers needed for the steps involved.
