We Offer Direct Referrals for General Endoscopy Procedures

A direct referral is for patients who have straightforward concerns and are comfortable meeting the performing gastroenterologist for the first time the day of the procedure. This allows patients to skip a more general, routine first appointment, if desired. 

For quick and easy access to routine endoscopy procedures, Susquehanna Health offers direct referrals for the following procedures:

• Screening colonoscopy
• Surveillance colonoscopy for a prior history of colon polyps or history of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, etc.
• Surveillance of Barrett's Esophagus - EGD

When calling in a direct referral, please have available:

• Patient name
• Date of birth
• Patient phone number
• Recent copy of history and physical within the last 30 days

Please call in direct referrals between 8 am–4 pm, Monday–Friday.

Phone: (570) 321-3331
Fax history and physical to (570) 321-2424

It is our goal to have an appointment scheduled within two weeks after the direct referral is received.
