History
In 1996, a local gastroenterology group approached the AmSurg Corporation of Nashville, Tenn., to manage a facility that they were planning in Chevy Chase, Md. The center’s close proximity to the neighborhood was a convenient alternative for patients who previously needed to travel to Washington, D.C. for procedures. Several other prominent gastroenterologists from the Washington, D.C.-Chevy Chase area joined the partnership, and the Chevy Chase Endoscopy Center opened on July 14, 1997.
The Chevy Chase Endoscopy Center received its State Licensure and Medicare Certification in 1997. The Center has four GI endoscopy procedure rooms and performs over 7,000 procedures each year.
