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.

If you are due for a colonoscopy or in need of a GI procedure, don’t put it off any longer. Give us a call today!

Excellent. The wait was over an hour, but that was because I was told to come in early. I didnt find out until I got in procedural room that it was bc there was a pt that ended up taking longer than expected. Made sense, wish I knew sooner. Everyone was very nice. I woke up at very end of procedure, which was okay I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. The only thing I could say negative is for the provider in training or residency program to introduce himself. He came in procedure room and just started to ask questions without asking my name or introducing himself. As he was speaking to me the nurse assisting came in and introduced me to him. Everyone else told me who they were and their role. I went back to recovery, offered a drink and my husband came in. Dr. Patel came over spoke with us and I went home. You guys are great!

Had a colonoscopy here a couple days ago & received excellent service. Everyone was so nice & really seemed to care about my welfare. This is a great place to go if you need their services. I am scheduled for an endoscopy here in a couple weeks & have no qualms about the service or expertise I will receive.
