Hospital vs. On-Site Surgical Center: Where Should You Get Your Colonoscopy?
You know a colonoscopy is the best way to prevent colon cancer, and you’re ready to schedule yours. But one question often comes up—Should I go to a hospital or an on-site surgical center?
At Gastrointestinal Specialists, P.C., we believe patients deserve a screening experience that’s not only thorough and effective—but also convenient, comfortable, and cost-conscious. That’s why we have our on-site surgical center: For you.
Let’s break down the differences:
The Traditional Route: Hospitals
Hospitals have long been the go-to for medical procedures, and for generally good reasons. They offer a wide range of services and are equipped for complex cases. But when it comes to routine procedures like colonoscopies, a hospital setting may not always be the most efficient (or cost-effective) option.
Patients often face:
- Longer wait times to schedule and complete your colonoscopy appointment
- Higher costs due to additional facility and administrative fees
- Less personalized care in a busy, high-traffic environment
