Our Commitment

Highest Standards

At Gastroenterology Associates, we hold our practice to the highest standards. It is one of many ways that we provide expert, compassionate care.


Authorities feel that detecting adenomas (benign tumors) is the single best indicator for a quality colonoscopy. Our physicians adhere to strict performance standards for this exam. We measure each physician’s Adenoma Detection Rate and Cecal Intubation Rates monthly. Individually and collectively, our board-certified physicians consistently far exceed national benchmarks.


Gastroenterology Associates remains a leader, both regionally and nationally, in quality measures that matter to you.
