Our physicians designed the center to give you the best possible patient experience. It brings together advanced imaging, flexible robotics, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled technologies and multidisciplinary teams, all in one location.

For the first time, you can receive the same advanced, nationally recognized endoscopic procedures previously available only at large academic medical centers in urban areas. Our center is anchored by Northwestern Medicine Digestive Health Institute at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, which is ranked in the top 10 in the nation and No. 1 in Illinois for gastroenterology and GI surgery, by U.S. News & World Report, 2025 – 2026.

One of the few stand-alone sites of its kind, the Center for Advanced Endoscopy brings leading-edge research, innovation and care to where you live. It’s a destination for better endoscopy care, right here in the heart of the west suburbs.

Nationally recognized specialists
Here, you will be seen by experienced interventional endoscopists. These physicians specialize in all digestive conditions, from the rare and complex to the common. As leaders in their field, published researchers and pioneers of new techniques, they’ll incorporate the latest innovations into your care.

Advanced technology, right in your neighborhood
Our center features advanced imaging, flexible robotic platforms and AI-enabled diagnostic tools. These are the same state-of-the-art technologies used at the nation’s top academic medical centers, now available close to home. The center will soon offer a hybrid suite for gastrointestinal care, interventional radiology and surgery.

Nurse navigators to guide you
From your first phone call through recovery and follow-up, our nurse navigators will guide you through every step. They coordinate scheduling, communicate with your referring physician and can answer any questions.

A team approach centered on you
Complex GI conditions often require more than one specialist. Our center works closely with surgery, oncology, interventional radiology and other teams. Together, they will create a comprehensive treatment plan for you.

Faster scheduling and convenient access
Our goal is to see you as quickly as possible for both routine and complex conditions. Because our center is in the west suburbs, you will not have to travel far for advanced GI care.

Innovative, evidence-based care, thanks to our training center:
