Download our Mission Statement
Our philosophy is to provide the most comfortable and convenient setting to deliver quality GI Endoscopic care to our patients.
Our goal is to be recognized for our excellence in GI procedural care, by stressing the factors of comfort, convenience, patient education and equal access to the community.
Carnegie Hill Endoscopy is committed to helping eradicate colon cancer in our community. We realize that colon cancer does not choose its victims by the ability to pay. We are the first private ambulatory surgical center to affiliate with a Federally Qualified Health Center to provide free screening care to those without insurance; providing these services for free (including anesthesia and pathology services). We work with a variety of centers throughout the 5 boroughs.
There are clear benefits of these private-public partnerships as we try to close the healthcare disparity gap. As former Commissioner of Health, Richard Daines, wrote “Ambulatory surgical centers can also be an access point for medically-underserved communities …to provide access to ambulatory surgery services for its Medicaid and uninsured patients.”
Carnegie Hill Endoscopy prides itself on being able to provide its patients with a world class experience. We maintain this level of excellence by participating in the GI Quality Improvement Consortium (GIQuIC). GIQuIC is a non-profit educational and scientific organization, cooperatively created by the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). This registry allows patient care data to be collected and systematically analyzed, creating benchmarks which identify weakness in care and allow for quality improvement initiatives here at our center. This real-time data is collected from physicians in hospitals, universities, ambulatory surgery centers, and office-based endoscopy units nationwide. Participation is not required, but it’s a demonstration to Carnegie Hill Endoscopy’s dedication to improving the quality of our patient care.
