The Therapeutic Endoscopy Center of Excellence, directed by Andrew Ross, MD, is the West Coast leader in therapeutic endoscopy. Recognized by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy's national Endoscopy Unit Recognition Program for quality and safety in the practice of GI endoscopy, the Center helps patients seeking diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal, biliary, and pancreatic disorders that are not commonly seen in other centers. Patients receive care from a multidisciplinary team of providers including GI procedure nurses, allied health care professionals, interventional radiologists, gastrointestinal surgeons, oncologists, pathologists, and radiology technicians who are specially trained in advanced therapeutic endoscopy. Recent advances in endoscope technology give our team the tools and resources to provide extraordinary care with greater efficiency, safety and precision.
