Pinehurst Medical Clinic Gastroenterology & Endoscopy practices are open to patients seeking care for all types of gastroenterology-related conditions and endoscopy procedure needs.
Our gastroenterologists focus on digestive system disorders, including both short-term conditions and chronic, lifelong diseases. These conditions may involve the liver, stomach, colon (intestine), biliary tract, gallbladder, and bowel.
The American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy recognizes Pinehurst Medical Clinic Endoscopy Center for Promoting Quality in Endoscopy. Pinehurst Medical Clinic Endoscopy Center is certified as a GI Quality Improvement Consortium. In 2003, the Pinehurst Medical Clinic Endoscopy Center achieved accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). Status as an accredited organization indicates that the Pinehurst Medical Clinic Endoscopy Center has passed a series of rigorous and nationally recognized standards established by the AAAHC, including an extensive on-site survey of its facility and services.
Pinehurst Medical Clinic gastroenterology providers are experts in their field with a committed focus on maintaining high Adenoma Detection Rates (ADR). ADR is a national benchmark that's critical for quality colonoscopies. Gastroenterologists take great pride in their ADR because it is a direct measure of the effectiveness of the colonoscopy that they offer.
For every one percent increase in a physician's ADR, a patient's risk of developing colon cancer over the next year decreases by three percent. When searching for a gastroenterologist, potential patients should be looking for a physician with an ADR of at least 15 percent in women and 25 percent in men. At Pinehurst Medical Clinic, our gastroenterology providers are proud to be substantially above the recommended ADR rates for both men and women. Gastroenterologists who are extremely proficient at finding and removing precancerous polyps have patients who are less likely to get cancer.
