Ft. Myers’ Best GI Doctors
Our gastroenterologists and staff at Gulf Coast Endoscopy Center 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 colonoscopy and upper endoscopy.
The physicians at Gulf Coast Endoscopy Center not only meet but exceed U.S. benchmarks for quality in colonoscopy. Our adenoma detection rate (ADR), the rate at which our GI doctors identify adenomatous colon polyps, far surpasses the national benchmark of 25 percent. See our scores.
Our patients value the compassionate care they receive from our GI doctors and say they are likely to recommend our center for GI procedures.

Dr. Kessel and the entire staff were patient, friendly and efficient. Took the time to explain exactly what they were about to do. A prep for a colonoscopy is not fun but the actual procedure was painless. Thank you all!
