Finding the right gastroenterologist means finding the one who delivers the highest quality digestive care to each and every patient.
Shore Gastroenterology Associates is proud to have some of the region’s premier gastroenterologists on staff. An elite group of thought leaders and prominent digestive health practitioners, the physicians that see patients at Shore Gastroenterology Associates, help us make good on our promise to remain an outstanding gastroenterology facility in both research and quality of care in the GI field.
We are committed to ensuring the highest quality care and best outcomes for our patients. That’s why we utilize the premier GI quality registry, GIQuIC, to track our quality measures.
We compare our results to the goals set by the American College of Gastroenterology and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
Why does this matter?
The higher the center’s physician’s ADR, the more likely it will be that adenomas can be identified and removed, reducing your risk for colon cancer.
Withdrawal Time
The withdrawal time is the time it takes to remove the scope from the colon when no polyps are found. The goal is at least 6 minutes.
Why does this matter?
You want the physician to do a thorough exam. Increasing the amount of time viewing the colon during withdrawal has been shown to increase the number of pre-cancerous polyps found, thus reducing a patient’s risk of cancer.
