Endoscopy guidance for Baltimore residents - Gastro Center of Maryland
Persistent heartburn, stomach pain, or a change in bowel habits deserves an answer rather than another month of waiting. Our Baltimore gastroenterologists diagnose and treat the full range of digestive conditions, from acid reflux to inflammatory bowel disease.
Our office at 4940 Campbell Blvd serves patients across northeast Baltimore and Baltimore County. We evaluate colon cancer screening needs, investigate unexplained abdominal pain, and treat chronic reflux, with the goal of getting you back to your routine quickly. Endoscopy and colonoscopy are not performed at this office: consultations and follow-up happen here, and your procedure is scheduled at one of our dedicated endoscopy centers.
Why choose our gastroenterologists in Baltimore
Our strength is handling the whole range of digestive disorders through one care team. Routine screening, chronic heartburn, unexplained abdominal pain, and inflammatory bowel disease are all managed by the same physicians, which means fewer referrals and less coordination on your end, and the same team that evaluates you also performs your procedure at our endoscopy center.
Patients across the Baltimore area have access to:
- Board-certified gastroenterologists with specialized training
- Consultations and follow-up at our Campbell Boulevard office
- Procedures performed at our dedicated outpatient endoscopy centers
- Colon cancer screening and follow-up surveillance
- Evaluation and management of GERD, IBD, and unexplained abdominal pain
- Convenient access for White Marsh, Nottingham, Perry Hall, Parkville, and Rosedale
- Thorough evaluations centered on patient comfort
Colon cancer screening is generally recommended for average-risk adults starting at age 45 and continuing through age 75, and earlier for those with a family history or concerning symptoms. Procedures are performed under sedation at one of our endoscopy centers, so you'll need a ride home and should plan to stay off the road and away from work for the rest of the day.
Frequently asked questions
What should I expect during my first visit?
During your first visit, you'll meet with one of our board-certified gastroenterologists who will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms in detail, and perform a physical examination if needed. Based on this, we may recommend diagnostic tests or develop a personalized treatment plan to address your concerns and improve your digestive health.
How do I prepare for an endoscopy?
Before your endoscopy, you'll stop eating solid food for eight hours and stop drinking liquids for four hours so your stomach is empty for the exam. You may also need to pause blood thinners, since they raise the risk of bleeding if a biopsy or treatment is performed. Please tell our providers about every medication and supplement you take, and our team will give you specific instructions ahead of your appointment.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
We understand that digestive concerns can't wait. That's why we strive to schedule most new patient appointments as soon as the same week, and no later than one to two weeks, depending on availability. If your symptoms are urgent, please let us know when you call or book online, and we will do our best to accommodate you as quickly as possible.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans to make your care as accessible as possible. To confirm whether your specific insurance is accepted, please contact our office or provide your insurance details when scheduling your appointment. You can also visit the Insurance section on our website for a list of accepted plans. We're happy to assist you with any questions.

Your visit here covers the consultation, and if a procedure is recommended, we'll book it at one of our dedicated endoscopy centers and confirm the address with you.
