Lancaster’s Leading GI Specialists Dedicated to Patient Care
The gastroenterologists and staff at MidAtlantic Endoscopy are dedicated to providing quality, affordable care to the greater Lancaster 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).
MidAtlantic Endoscopy is skilled in performing a myriad of digestive procedures, including colonoscopy, esophageal dilation, flexible sigmoidoscopy, upper endoscopy and small bowel enteroscopy.
With two convenient locations in Lancaster and Ephrata, we proudly serve the Lancaster, York and Hershey areas.

MidAtlantic Endoscopy accepts most major insurance. As a courtesy to you, we will bill your insurance carrier; however, we cannot tell you what your policy will cover.
