Additional Information

• Who performs the procedures at West GTA Endoscopy Clinic?

  Procedures are performed by qualified gastroenterologists and general surgeons who are trained and experienced in endoscopic techniques.

• Is there parking nearby?

  Yes. There is lots of free parking at the clinic.

• Should I be in touch in advance of my appointment?

  Yes. The clinic will call to confirm the appointment 1 week before  the procedure day. There will be a fee of $200.00 for any cancellation made within 3 business days prior to the procedure.

  You also need to bring your Ontario Health Card (OHIP) with you at the time of your appointment.

• Are endoscopy procedures safe when performed outside a hospital?

  At scheduling, our clinic staff will ask a series of questions to determine the safest environment for your procedure. Patients who are assessed to have serious medical issues will have their procedures directed to one of our Gastroenterologists’ offices to have the procedure booked and performed in the hospital. The majority of healthy adults can safely and easily have endoscopic procedures in an out-of-hospital endoscopy clinic. The procedures, equipment, and cleaning/disinfecting process is exactly the same as at the hospital.

• I have a compliment, comment or complaint. Who do I contact?

  Please call or email the clinic, and our clinic manager will review the issue or comments. They will also then coordinate with necessary doctors or other clinic staff involved to review and respond to your questions and comments with the goal to rectify or clarify your concerns.
