Frequently asked questions
Who may benefit from care at an endoscopy center?
Patients with ongoing digestive symptoms such as chronic heartburn, abdominal discomfort, difficulty swallowing, or changes in bowel habits may benefit from evaluation at an endoscopy center. Preventive screenings, including colonoscopy, are generally recommended beginning at age 45, or earlier for individuals with increased risk or family history.
What can I expect during my procedure visit?
Most procedures are performed with sedation to ensure patient comfort and typically take less than an hour. Patients are monitored closely throughout their visit, and biopsies may be taken when clinically indicated.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Preparation varies by procedure but often includes fasting for several hours and temporary adjustments to certain medications. Because sedation is used, patients should arrange transportation home. Detailed, personalized instructions are provided in advance.
