Why Choose Physicians Endoscopy Center?

The HHS survey data also reports the quality of care provided in an endoscopy center is equal to or better than comparable care provided in a hospital because of the infrequency of complications and infections. Other reasons an endoscopy center may be the perfect fit for you includes convenient scheduling, reliable service, and a high level of professionalism.

We specialize in Gastroenterology.

All physicians on our medical staff are board-certified or board-eligible gastroenterologists: physicians specifically trained to diagnosis and treat gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. All of our doctors complete three to four years of GI fellowship training in addition to an internal medicine residency.

Gastroenterologists also receive specialized training in endoscopy, a diagnostic procedure which uses a flexible, lighted tube with a built-in video camera to examine the inside of the digestive/intestinal tract.

Studies have shown that gastroenterologists perform higher quality colonoscopy screenings and other consultative services when compared to other types of physicians. Non-gastroenterologists are five times more likely to miss colorectal cancer during colonoscopy than gastroenterologists.

More is better.

The more experience your doctor has performing specific procedures - such as colonoscopy - the better the results. Physicians Endoscopy Center physicians have performed more than 100,000 endoscopic procedures since 2002.

According to the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, a physician should perform at least 100 colonoscopies annually. Every Physicians Endoscopy Center physician performs at least 200 colonoscopies each year, with some of our physicians performing more than 1,000 of these procedures annually.
