Cotton-O'Neil Digestive Health Center

Facilities and Services

The Cotton-O'Neil Endoscopy Center is a Medicare/JCAHO accredited, ambulatory Endoscopy Center. This facility is 12,000 square feet in size and offers a spacious reception area for patients and their families. There are four procedure rooms with state-of-the-art equipment. Patients are admitted to 1 of 15 rooms and are returned to the same room for the recovery period. These rooms were designed with patient comfort and privacy in mind. The rooms are separated by solid walls (not curtains). Patients are offered warm blankets and receive refreshments in the recovery period. The Endoscopy Center provides the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic upper endoscopy and colonoscopy. Small bowel capsule endoscopy is available to visualize the small intestine. This new technology is useful in diagnosing occult small bowel disease as well as in the evaluation of patients with gastrointestinal blood loss who have negative endoscopic examinations. Other services, including esophageal motility testing, BRAVO esophageal pH and laser endoscopy are available at Stormont-Vail and/or St. Francis. The offices of the Cotton-O'Neil Clinic Division of Gastroenterology are located on the second floor. This 6,000 square foot space includes six physician offices, ten exam rooms, a spacious reception area, as well as administrative offices. All the physician offices and exam rooms have computer terminals that allow ready access to patients' medical records.

The staff of the Digestive Health Center understand the sensitive nature of gastrointestinal illness. We strive to address our patients' needs with compassion and concern for their privacy.
