Be a Colon Cancer Awareness Advocate
During Colon Cancer Awareness Month, we can share the importance of colon screening and healthy lifestyle habits that decrease colon cancer risk.
Escondido’s Best GI Doctors
Our Escondido gastroenterologists and staff at Parkway 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, flexible sigmoidoscopy and upper endoscopy.
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!
For Your Visit
Parkway Endoscopy Center is committed to ensuring that your experience with us is relaxed and worry-free, from consultation through recovery. To assist us, we ask that you read and comply with all guidelines.
We’re pleased to partner with StopColonCancerNow.com to help boost colon cancer screenings and prevention for residents in the Greater San Diego area.
Patient Forms
Your time is as valuable to us as it is to you. That’s why we provide online access to a variety of forms that patients may complete before their visit. These documents will help us expedite the check-in process for your appointment. Please take a moment to download and print the appropriate form(s).
Insurance and Billing
We accept most major insurance. We will bill your insurance carrier for you. We cannot tell you what your policy will cover. Since your insurance policy and coverage are between you and your carrier, we urge you to contact them prior to your procedure. You will be responsible for any co-pays and deductibles.
Patient Registration
The patient registration portal is designed to help streamline your surgical process. By entering your medical history prior to the day of your medical visit, you save time, reduce medical errors, and increase the efficiency of our facility. Your medical information is secured and will not be shared with other institutions.

Everyone was friendly and helpful. The staff addressed all my concerns with patience and kindness. Throughout the procedure and after I felt well taken care of. The doctor himself took the time to talk to me after the procedure and again once results were in. I’m thankful to all!
