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.

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.

Had a great team waiting for me. They were kind and supportive. I was very anxious at first but they explained the procedure again and made me feel at ease. The procedure was fast and better than I expected. I had no complications and felt great. They still called multiple times to check on me. I felt like I was in good hands there. Definitely recommend the place.

Quick and easy procedure. Everything was explained to me before and after my procedure. I left the same day and went home for a nap.

Thank you to everyone at Parkway Endoscopy Center! I had a wonderful experience. Everything went well and the staff, nurses and Dr. Zakko were very kind and caring. I was grateful that I was able to get on with my day shortly after my endoscopy. Best of all is my results were normal! 👏🏼
