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. Our new, state-of-the-art facility in Lancaster offers all the technology of a hospital in a comfortable, relaxed environment. The new center replaces two centers located within the Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health Suburban Out-Patient Pavilion with one convenient location, offering the same high quality of patient care in a new updated environment. We also have an Ephrata location at 4140 Oregon Pike.
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 have received from our GI doctors and say they are likely to recommend our center for GI procedures. Our patients are extremely satisfied with their experiences at our facility, and they consistently refer us to their family and friends.
We believe in compassionate medicine, where patients feel reassured and unrushed. We hold ourselves to the highest of standards, as the center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). We are also a proud member of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce.
When it comes to reviews, our patients highly rate the care they have received from our doctors and staff, commending us on our professionalism, efficiency and friendliness. One patient provided this five-star review:
“I went in for colonoscopy, and I thought the nursing staff was excellent. The procedure was efficient and the doctor was superb. Parking was very easy, and the procedure finished early.”
Our Lancaster gastroenterologists and staff at MidAtlantic Endoscopy are committed to ensuring your experience with us is relaxed and worry-free, from your first office visit through your post-procedure follow-up. To assist us, we ask that you read and comply with all guidelines.
We’re pleased to announce our new partnership with StopColonCancerNow.com to help boost colon cancer screenings and prevention for residents in the area.
At MidAtlantic Endoscopy, your time is as valuable to us as it is to you. Upon scheduling your surgery, a member of our staff will provide you with the required forms to fill out.
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.
If you’re over 50 and haven’t had a colonoscopy, take advantage of the Express Scheduling Option at our MidAtlantic Endoscopy center locations. By scheduling directly with our center, you see a board-certified GI specialist and have your procedure on the same day. Call (510) 893-1600 or email us today.
