Choosing where to go for a colonoscopy screening is just as important as the procedure itself. At GastroIntestinal Specialists (GIS), we understand that a colonoscopy can be daunting. That is why we’ve built our practice around making the experience as stress-free as possible. By combining our board-certified expertise with a personal touch, we ensure that you receive the highest level of clinical expertise and comfort. Here are five reasons why our patients trust us with their digestive health.
1. A Local Leader In Care
As the largest and most experienced team performing colonoscopies in North Louisiana, we bring a level of expertise you won’t find anywhere else. Our gastroenterologists are board-certified and highly practiced in cancer screenings.
2. Proven Track Record
We don’t just say we provide quality care. We can prove it. For years, we have meticulously tracked the quality of colonoscopies. We consistently exceed all national standards. Those numbers translate into the peace of mind that your health is in the best hands.
3. Dedication To Discovery
Our physicians aren’t just practitioners. They are also pioneers. The Louisiana Research Center, LLC, is a clinical research center owned and operated by our gastroenterologists since 1992. By staying at the forefront of clinical research, our patients benefit from the most advanced diagnostic tools and innovative treatments available today. At GastroIntestinal Specialists, we don’t just follow the guidelines. We help define them.
4. Comprehensive, Full-Service Care
Many colonoscopy patients also require an upper endoscopy to evaluate symptoms affecting both the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts. We’ve designed our Shreveport Endoscopy Center (SEC) to be a one-stop destination for your digestive health. Whether you need a routine colonoscopy or a combined upper endoscopy to investigate specific symptoms, our state-of-the-art ambulatory center is built for efficiency and comfort. We even offer improved, small-volume bowel prep options to make the most difficult part of the process a little easier to swallow.
5. Higher Standard Of Compassion And Comfort
We believe that the best outcomes start with putting the person before the procedure. Our patient-centric approach turns a routine screening into a supportive experience by prioritizing your physical and emotional comfort.
