Our Services

 

Our GI diagnostic imaging tests are designed to provide clear pictures and accurate readings every time.

 

Colonoscopy in Gatineau

 

Our colonoscopy procedures in Gatineau are performed by trained technicians. This is a medical imaging test, performed with a tiny camera attached on the top of a thin, flexible tube. This tube is snaked into the rectum and colon through the anus. The purpose of this test is to examine whether there are any abnormal growths along the lining of the colon. This is done to assess the lining of the colon for abnormalities or growths.

 

Gastroscopy in Gatineau

 

At Scope MD, we offer outpatient gastroscopy services in Gatineau that aim to get a clear picture of the upper digestive tract. This includes the stomach, oesophagus, and the duodenum. Our trained professionals perform this imaging test with an endoscope, which is a tiny camera positioned at the top of a flexible tube. This goes down into the upper GI tract via the mouth and throat.

Plan Your Visit

 

You can book an appointment with our gastroscopy imaging centre in Gatineau with only your doctor’s recommendation. Our colonoscopy and gastroscopy services in Gatineau don’t require a referral.

It is best to:

• Get to the location a minimum of 30-45 minutes prior to the procedure. This will give you ample time to park your vehicle or to locate our centre. Kindly allow us some time as well to cross check all documentation and get you admitted.
• You must have all relevant prescriptions and medical information with you. We will need to cross check all documentation to ensure that the procedure is completely safe for you.
• Do not come by yourself; there should be an adult accompanying you as the effects of the sedatives will last for some time after the procedure is over. You will not be able to safely make the drive back by yourself.

At Scope MD, we aim to make these invasive procedures of gastroscopy and colonoscopy in Gatineau as comfortable as we can.

 

FAQs

 

Do I need to prepare for my gastroscopy? 

 

There is some level of preparation required for a gastroscopy in Gatineau. We will equip you with a detailed set of guidelines you need to follow before your procedure. In a nutshell, you will have to clean out your bowel with laxatives, stay hydrated, and eat light and easily digestible food. At Scope MD, you will be given a clear list of preparation instructions before the procedure.

 

What to do if I cannot keep my appointment?

 

In case you miss your appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, kindly let us know as soon as you can. We will try to book another slot for you at the soonest possible date and time. We cannot guarantee a close slot, but we will certainly make your appointment a priority.

 

How long does a gastroscopy procedure take?

 

The procedure of gastroscopy in Gatineau itself takes no more than 15-20 minutes. But you would need to be in the clinic for a couple of hours for pre- and post-procedure formalities and assessments. We would advise you to clear out your schedule for the entire day of the procedure, especially if you are coming from out of state.

 

Will I be awake throughout the colonoscopy procedure?

 

No, we will put you under a mild sedative prior to the procedure to minimise discomfort. You will feel the effects of the sedative for some time after the procedure, so you must have an adult with you while returning.
