Sedation
At Digestive Care Center, you’ll find the expertise that means positive outcomes for our patients. And, while that optimal outcome is our #1 goal, we’re also committed to making sure every patient is as comfortable as possible throughout their experience. We offer Propofol sedation from Anesthesia Care Associates for all our endoscopic procedures — in patients who pass the eligibility screening. Propofol offers many advantages, including:
- Improved comfort
- Better polyp detection rates
- Faster onset of sedation
- Faster patient recovery
