“Quality is not an act, it is a habit.”

— Aristotle

A Relentless Commitment to Quality and Safety

At The Endoscopy Center, quality isn’t just a goal – it’s a promise we make to every patient who walks through our doors. We understand that gastrointestinal procedures require precision and care, and that’s why we continuously surpass national benchmarks for safety, efficiency, and accuracy.

Our Quality by the Numbers:

  • 99.98% of procedures avoid significant bleeding during polypectomy (compared to the national target of ≥ 99%)
  • 99.98% of procedures avoid colon perforation (far exceeding the national target of ≤ 1 in 500 procedures)
  • 99.5% of colonoscopies are completed to the cecum, ensuring a thorough examination (national benchmark: ≥ 90%)
  • Our 56.0% Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR) is more than double the national average, significantly reducing the risk of colorectal cancer.

These metrics reflect the expertise of our board-certified gastroenterologists, the precision of our techniques, and the rigor of our protocols. Our high detection rates and low complication rates mean earlier intervention, fewer missed diagnoses, and better patient outcomes.

We take pride in our ability to offer not only advanced technology but also a dedicated team that carefully follows evidence-based practices to ensure every procedure is performed with the highest level of care.
