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.
If you are due for a colonoscopy or in need of a GI procedure, don’t put it off any longer. Give us a call today!

The procedure itself went beautifully and the staff was amazing, but then I got hit with $1800 in bills for a procedure that is preventative health. They billed it as diagnostic, so insurance applied it to my deductible instead of covering it at 100% under preventative health. Insurance said it needs to be coded as “routine” for preventative health procedures. I called the office multiple times and they refuse to recode it as routine and told me to pay up. Nobody talked to me prior to the procedure to tell me it would be billed as diagnostic and not preventative.

Dr. Lee is great. But I'm highly dissatisfied with billing. I checked my insurance before my procedure and was told, yes Dr.Lee is a network provider for my insurance and my screening would be covered 100%. However, Dr.Lee's office used an anesthesiologist out of my network and now I'm stuck with a $1500 bill from them. I went through all the proper channels Associated Endoscopy suggested on their website about checking first, and still got slapped with a bill. Don't trust their billing department to pay attention. I wasn't aware that everyone I came in contact with that day if I had to ask if they were in my network. I wouldn't be surprised if I got a bill from someone that put a band-aid on me that was out of network. Ridiculous. Do better!

They were able to stop the bleeding and reassured me it was taken care of and will not have any more problems
