When Atlantic General was planning its new Endoscopy Center, hospital leadership knew they wanted to offer something beyond a skilled gastroenterology staff and a wide range of diagnostics and treatment options.

Patient comfort and safety were also key components.

The new 5,000 square foot facility, opened on Monday, March 17, offers a quiet, private atmosphere away from the busy hustle and bustle of the hospital environment.

With private rooms and a dedicated staff who provide care only for those patients who come to the Endoscopy Center, the atmosphere is designed to alleviate much of the apprehension and embarrassment typical to many GI procedures.

Medical Staff

The care provided by the Atlantic Endoscopy Center is referred through the office practices of Dr. Bell and Dr. Klepper at Atlantic Gastroenterology and the private practice of Dr. Canakis.
