San Antonio Community Hospital's Endoscopic Services Department performs a vital function in the early detection and identification of diseases and abnormalities. The colon, esophagus, stomach, and gall bladder can all be examined and evaluated using a videoscope or tiny camera.

During a procedure, patients are provided moderate sedation for comfort. Procedures usually take less than 30 minutes and patients are sent home shortly thereafter.

These short and simple procedures can provide an early diagnosis, which may save your life. We encourage you to talk to your physician about any specific questions or concerns that you may have. You may also call our Endoscopic Services Department weekdays, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at 909.920.4991.
