Celebrate Men’s Health Month by Scheduling a Colonoscopy
Men should prioritize colon cancer screening like they do other preventive screenings such as a prostate exam.
Why Choose Us?
Our gastroenterologists and staff at Louisiana Endoscopy Center 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).
Our board-certified GI doctors specialize in performing a myriad of GI procedures, including colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and upper endoscopy.

I think the intentional process of not disclosing all third parties until day of surgery is in violation of Surprise Billing statutes. Especially since I asked them up front and was only provided phys, anesthesia, and center billing. The rest were sprung day of procedure. The medical staff and procedure were without fault. This is a business office problem.
