Comfort and convenience.

Here at North Houston Gastroenterology Clinic (NHGC), and Houston Colon Cancer Screening Center (HCCSC) we offer many conveniences that put you first.  Most patients do not need to be referred by their doctor, and we can usually schedule you in for your appointment within a day or two. Our waiting room, multiple exam rooms, in-office endoscopy suites, infusion therapy suite and research center are all in the same facility-just steps away from each other.  Some of the advantages of having an in-office  endoscopy include patient privacy, efficiency and a lower cost for procedures.  We control costs by eliminating any facility fees.  In fact, most managed care plans only require a co-pay for in-office procedures.  Cost saving measures also include controlling fees for pathology and anesthesia.  We have a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist on staff who administers sedation.  This allows Dr. Winston to be fully focused on your endoscopic procedure. Our goal is to make your procedure as comfortable as possible.

Immediate computer test results.

After being screened for colorectal cancer, you want to get your test results as soon as possible. Dr. Winston understands this, which is why he will provide you with a complete report of your exam along with key images right after it’s finished. He will also send a copy to your doctor promptly and make himself available should they have any questions.
