Jim B. to Dr Savoca following recovery from surgery for rectal cancer.
"Fairfax Colon & Rectal Surgery made my colonoscopy a pleasant experience! From the receptionists who warmly greeted-to the recovery nurse who wished me well – I was made to feel important and special. Dr. Savoca and his team put me at ease with their professionalism, compassion, respect and good humor. If anyone has told you that a colonoscopy is worse than going to the dentist-then they haven't gone to a Fairfax Colon & Rectal Surgery!"

"I want to commend your staff for making a “yucky” procedure quite nice!
