Serving Madera County

Gastroenterologist in Madera

A board-certified gastroenterologist in Madera, serving local residents with screening colonoscopy, upper endoscopy (EGD), polyp removal, and hemorrhoid banding — all in one comfortable outpatient setting.

Madera Ambulatory Endoscopy Center has cared for Madera-area patients for years. Most of our patients live within a 15-minute drive of the clinic, and many are referred by primary-care physicians at Camarena Health, Valley Children's, and local family medicine practices.

We are a Medicare-certified ambulatory surgery center. That means the same procedures performed in a hospital outpatient department happen here in a quieter, lower-cost setting — usually with shorter check-in times and less paperwork.

All procedures are performed by board-certified gastroenterologists with monitored sedation. You'll be in and out the same morning, with results discussed before you leave.

Getting to our Madera office from Madera

From central Madera, take Almond Avenue east; we are on the south side of Almond between Schnoor and Lake. From north Madera or Madera Acres, head south on Highway 99 and take exit 154 for Avenue 12, then east on Almond. On-site parking is free.

Check-in was quick, the team explained every step, and I was home in Madera Acres before lunch. Way easier than I'd expected.

  • Used for GERD, Barrett's surveillance, ulcers, and dysphagia
  • Biopsies and H. pylori testing performed during the same visit
  • Typically 15–20 minutes with monitored sedation
I'd been dealing with reflux for years. The EGD finally gave us answers, and the doctor walked through the photos with me right after.

I'd put this off for years. The visit took 10 minutes and I drove myself back to the shop on Yosemite Ave. Wish I'd done it sooner.
