Our gastroenterologists and staff at Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Associates 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).
Our board-certified GI doctors specialize in a myriad of GI procedures, including colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and upper endoscopy.
The physicians at Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Associates 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.

I recently had a colonoscopy and endoscopy at GIEA. It was a fantastic experience. I was nervous about the IV being placed and my nurse Trina was able to insert it immediately. In addition, my doctor, Dr. Stephenson, performed my procedures and I did not feel a thing. When I woke up, I did not have any pain and was able to eat a meal afterwards. I highly recommend them to anyone who has to have either of these procedures.
