Endoscopy is primarily a diagnostic procedure which uses a flexible scope for visualization. These practices which include gastroscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy are performed either on an inpatient or outpatient basis in a special procedure room.

Endoscopy hours of operation are Monday through Friday, though coverage is available for emergency procedures.

Endoscopy is performed by a physician with the assistance of a licensed registered nurse. Intravenous conscious sedation is administrated by an ACLS (Advances Cardiac Life Support) certified registered nurse and is monitored by that nurse throughout the procedure.
