Verified Patient
I had an excellent experience at this GI office for my endoscopy. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and incredibly efficient. Check-in was smooth, and the nurses took the time to explain everything clearly, which immediately put me at ease.

The physician was outstanding—thorough, calm, and happy to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed. The procedure itself went seamlessly, and I truly felt I was in capable, experienced hands the entire time.

Medical procedures can be stressful, but this team made it as comfortable and reassuring as possible. I’m very grateful for their care and would absolutely recommend this office to anyone needing GI services.

What is a polyp detection rate?

Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR) is the measurement that best reflects how carefully a doctor performs a colonoscopy. This rate is the percentage of patients undergoing a screening colonoscopy who have one or more precancerous polyps detected.

Gastroenterology Associates has an average ADR of 37% with a 43% ADR in males and 31% ADR in females.
