Crystal River’s Best GI Doctors

Our gastroenterologists and staff at Citrus Endoscopy and Surgery 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, flexible sigmoidoscopy and upper endoscopy.

Our adenoma detection rate (ADR), the rate at which our GI doctors identify adenomatous colon polyps, far surpasses the national benchmark of 25 percent. See our scores. Additionally, our patients value the compassionate care they receive from our GI doctors and say they are likely to recommend our center for GI procedures.

This was my first endoscopy, I was a little nervous at first, but once the process started, my nerves were put at ease. Very professional, and my nurse answered all my questions prior to the procedure. Thank you once again!

I was nervous about the procedure but upon entering the area where It was going to be done, I felt very comfortable with the friendliness and efficiency of everyone there. I highly recommend Dr. Ram and his staff. The anesthesiologist made me feel comfortable also and he was very reassuring. Great staff!

I was very anxious about my procedure and IV as they usually have trouble getting one started. Nurses were very understanding and anesthesiologist was great. He put me to sleep right away so I didn't have to watch all the prep.
