Our gastroenterologists and staff at Surgery Center of Melbourne are dedicated to providing quality, affordable care to the community in our quest to lower colon cancer rates and treat an array of digestive diseases, including Crohn’s Disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
We believe in compassionate medicine, where patients feel reassured and unrushed. We hold ourselves to the highest of standards, as our center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).
Our board-certified GI doctors specialize in a myriad of GI procedures, including colonoscopies, flexible sigmoidoscopies and upper endoscopies.
Additionally, our patients value the compassionate care they receive from our GI doctors and say they are likely to recommend our center for GI procedures.

When it comes to reviews, our patients have highly rated the care they received from our GI doctors and staff, commending us on our professional and friendly personnel.
One five-star reviewer said, “I recently had a procedure performed here, and I received excellent care. The facility is very clean, and their process is very well organized! Every nurse in this place goes above and beyond to make you comfortable and ensure the best care. As busy as they are there, I never felt rushed or like a number! I felt like I was their only patient! The doctor was so patient and attentive. He spent time making sure I was receiving the best care. One of the nurses was actually singing. They all seem very happy in their jobs, and that is a reflection of how they all work so well together. I highly recommend this surgery center and the staff running it!”
