About Us

Specialty: Gastroenterology

Welcome

At Piedmont HealthCare Endoscopy Center, our priority is to deliver superior quality, cost effective gastroenterology care to informed patients in a comfortable and convenient setting. Our center is fully accredited and licensed in the state of North Carolina.

Quality Care

The practice and Endoscopy Center are a specialty care facility designed to provide individual, quality care for eligible patients to undergo endoscopic procedures on an outpatient basis. The facility is designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and effective environment for outpatient procedures while maintaining patient dignity and human rights. The facility strives to provide services without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, or national origin.

Piedmont HealthCare Endoscopy Center believes that informed patients are better prepared to make decisions regarding their health and well being. That is why we’ve included an extensive section on the website covering the full array of topics associated with gastroenterology and diagnoses and treatments for digestive problems. We encourage you to look through these pages whenever you have an interest or concern about your digestive health.

By providing care in an outpatient center, Piedmont HealthCare Endoscopy Center enables you to receive more cost-effective GI services than typically provided in a hospital setting. While our center is more cost-effective, quality is uncompromised.

Comfortable, Convenient Setting

The best care in the world doesn’t mean anything if you can’t access it. At Piedmont HealthCare Endoscopy Center, we strive to make our Statesville office as efficient and convenient as possible. Included in these web pages is information about Piedmont HealthCare Endoscopy Center’s office, including our Statesville location, maps, directions, hours, insurance policies and appointment scheduling.

We hope you find this website useful and invite you to contact us with your questions at any time.
