Comprehensive care for GI concerns
At Margaret Mary, we understand receiving an endoscopy can be intimidating, especially for first-timers. Our nurses take great care to make you as comfortable as possible, while respecting your privacy.
If you’re 45 and older, your doctor will likely recommend you have a colonoscopy, which is the most effective way to screen for colon cancer. Please be sure to verify coverage with your insurance provider.

An endoscopy is a simple, minimally invasive procedure that helps your doctor take a closer look inside your digestive system to find the cause of symptoms and keep your health on track.
What to expect during your appointment:
Endoscopies are used to evaluate:
- Stomach/chest pain
- Ulcers
- Difficulty swallowing
- Reflux
- Polyps
- Bleeding
- Changes in bowel habits
At your visit:
During an endoscopy, a flexible tube with a powerful light and tiny camera is inserted into your body.
Our endoscopy facility includes two state-of-the-art endoscopy suites, as well as 10 prep/recovery rooms. For your comfort, each room includes its own TV and DVD player, and a centrally-located nourishment center is available in case your family needs a drink or snack while waiting.
Patients frequently comment on how their exam was much easier than expected.
