Our gastroenterologists and staff at Diagnostic Endoscopy Center are dedicated to providing quality, affordable care to the community in our quest to lower colon cancer rates and treat an array of digestive diseases, including Crohn’s Disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
We believe in compassionate medicine, where patients feel reassured and unrushed. We hold ourselves to the highest of standards, as our center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).
Our board-certified GI doctors specialize in a myriad of GI procedures, including colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and upper endoscopy.
The physicians at Diagnostic Endoscopy Center not only meet but exceed U.S. benchmarks for quality in colonoscopy. Our adenoma detection rate (ADR), the rate at which our GI doctors identify adenomatous colon polyps, surpasses the national benchmark of 25 percent. See Our Scores.
Additionally, our patients value the compassionate care they receive from our GI doctors and say they are likely to recommend our center for GI procedures.
If you are due for a colonoscopy or in need of a GI procedure, don’t put it off any longer. Give us a call today!
When it comes to reviews, our patients have highly rated the care they received from our GI doctors and staff, commending us on our professional and friendly personnel.
One five-star reviewer said, “The Diagnostic Endoscopy Center is the place to go for endoscopy. As a retired general and vascular surgeon, as well as a patient, I can tell you there is no better place to get your colonoscopy or any other endoscopic procedures. It is conveniently located with plenty of parking right at the entrance. The front office staff is very friendly, and the waiting area is clean, modern and very comfortable. The nurses and aids are compassionate and experts at what they do. My gastroenterologist who performed my colonoscopy, Dr. William Pintauro, is top-notch. He spoke with my wife after the procedure and even called me later on in the day to see how I was doing. In short, if you need a colonoscopy, this is the place to go. Remember, a colonoscopy is one of the best things you can do for your health. By the time you have symptoms, it might be too late. I tell you this as a surgeon who has done hundreds of colon surgeries over my career. I can attest to the importance of having a colonoscopy as part of your preventive health regimen. I am grateful to Dr. Pintauro for keeping me in good health.”
