Hermitage’s Best GI Doctors
Our gastroenterologists and staff at Associated Endoscopy 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).
We believe in compassionate medicine, where patients feel reassured and unrushed. We hold ourselves to the highest of standards, as our center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).
Our board-certified GI doctors specialize in a myriad of GI procedures, including colonoscopy, esophageal dilation, flexible sigmoidoscopy, upper endoscopy and small bowel enteroscopy.
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.

The providers are lovely. But the office staff double charged me for my procedure (once to my HRA and once to my credit card. Why even require me to pay with my credit card when you're just going to go ahead and charge my HRA?), and now I am unsure when I will have over $600 returned to me. I called the office and their billing department, neither of which offered any immediate solutions to a pretty immediate problem. I feel like they've treated me like a hassle from the beginning. If you have an HRA, don't give them your credit card! Or you may end up with the same headache :(
