Endoscopy Services
Endoscopy is a procedure that enables your doctor to see inside your body. It uses an instrument called an endoscope, or scope for short. Scopes have a tiny camera attached to a long, thin tube. The doctor moves it through a body passageway or opening to see inside an organ. Sometimes scopes are used for surgery, such as for removing polyps from the colon.
If your procedure is at the hospital, please check in at the Special Procedure Care Unit (SPCU) on the second floor of the main hospital. Park in South Tower Garage, floor P-2. Parking is free.
If your procedure is at the Endoscopy Center (across the street from the hospital at 17820 Talbot Road S.) please park in the adjacent lot. Parking is free.
Please print or bring a digital copy of this Procedure Check-in Flyer with Campus Maps with you on the day of your procedure. The flyer includes parking instructions.
