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.

I had a very positive experience at Submmit Hospital for my endoscopy and colonoscopy. The staff were professional, kind, and efficient. The procedures were handled smoothly, and I felt well informed and comfortable throughout. The nurses were especially wonderful in helping me feel calm and informed. The doctor explained everything clearly. The recovery process was smooth, and I felt safe and well monitored the entire time. I'm grateful for the excellent care I received.

I went in for a colonoscopy on 3-2 and I didn’t even have time to sit in waiting room and they called me back. Nancy had me sign all kinds of things, Amanda got my IV going and next thing I know they are rolling me into the procedure. Ashley the anthesis talked to me, Angela checked on me and dr. James said hi and the next thing I know I’m back in the other room getting the water I so desperately wanted. Got dressed and out of there within 2 hours of arriving. Awesome experience considering the day before is the dreadful prep day but that wasn’t so bad either. Very pleasant dr. And staff.
