OUR MISSION
To provide premier gastroenterological care in the Western North Carolina region by pursuing the highest standards of clinical excellence, embracing state-of-the-art technology, offering meaningful clinical research, and assuming leadership roles in our professional community in order to improve our patients' digestive health.
OUR VISION
To achieve our mission, we intend to:

- Collect and analyze performance and outcome measurements to demonstrate accountability and improvement in the delivery of medical care, as well as collaborate with other healthcare participants to develop and maintain quality initiatives.

- Recognize the value of each individual member of our team that delivers care and strive to attract and retain talented personnel by actively promoting a professionally satisfying work environment.
SCOPE OF SERVICE
We provide an advanced level of comprehensive services to meet the digestive health needs of individuals in the Western North Carolina region. Our providers work together in a collaborative approach and use state-of-the-art technology to provide you with the highest level of patient care. This includes an extensive array of endoscopic and non-endoscopic procedure-related services as well as consultative care.
CONSULTATIVE ROLE
We help in the areas of inflammatory bowel disorders, celiac disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, esophageal dysmotility, gastrointestinal cancer, hepatitis C infection and other chronic liver disorders. In many instances the care rendered in our collaborative environment may involve the input of several providers assuring that an evidence-based approach to management is pursued.
PROCEDURAL ROLE
We have experience and skill in endoscopic procedures including colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, liver biopsy, capsule endoscopy, ERCP, and EUS. We have specially trained physicians who focus on using these procedures to remove large colon polyps, perform EUS fine needle aspirate and celiac plexus blocks, place intestinal stents to alleviate obstruction and remove large common bile duct stones and biopsy tumors using Spyglass technology. Moreover, we are committed to achieve and maintain the highest standards in these procedures by self-assessment of important outcome measures.
We are honored to be recognized by the American Society for Gastroenterology Endoscopy for promoting quality in endoscopy:
