Norwich’s Best GI Doctors
Our gastroenterologists and staff at Eastern Connecticut Endoscopy Center are dedicated to providing quality, affordable care to the community in our quest to lower colon cancer rates and treat an array of digestive diseases, including Crohn’s Disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
We believe in compassionate medicine, where patients feel reassured and unrushed. We hold ourselves to the highest of standards, as our center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).
Our board-certified GI doctors specialize in a myriad of GI procedures, including colonoscopy and upper endoscopy.
Our patients value the compassionate care they receive from our GI doctors and say they are likely to recommend our center for GI procedures.
