How much do endoscopy clinics charge in Toronto?

Some clinics may also provide tailored package options, allowing patients to customize services and manage expenses effectively while ensuring they receive care that meets their specific needs.
How We Chose the Best Endoscopy Clinics in Toronto
1. Canadian Place Endoscopy Clinic
Canadian Place Endoscopy Clinic has an incredible team of experienced gastroenterologists, surgeons, and nursing staff. With a reputation that precedes them, this established clinic opened their doors way back in 2009.
They’re committed to your comfort and health, prioritizing emergency cases within 48 hours and scheduling procedures within two weeks.
Whether you need a colonoscopy or a gastroscopy, they ensure minimal wait times and use high-definition video endoscopic equipment for accurate detections.
Before your procedure, they give you all the info you need, so you’re ready to go. And don’t worry—they’ll take good care of you afterward and update your referring doctor on everything.
One patient mentioned how she felt really well cared for because the clinic made sure her doctor knew all her results.
Plus, the procedures are covered by OHIP, so you won’t have any unexpected costs.
While the clinic offers many benefits, it’s worth noting that a physician’s referral is still required, which might be a minor con if you’re seeking immediate self-referral options.
Highly professional and comforting service
“I am extremely happy with the services provided at this place. My doctors request for an appointment was immediately responded to,and appointment received within two days. The receptionist was extremely professional and friendly, and all interaction with nurses and doctors exceeded my expectations. Getting a documented result sheet, with detailed information relative to the identified issue, and what to expect in the future, was extremely comforting. I would highly recommend this Organization to anyone seeking the services offered.”

Great experience with caring staff
“Had a great experience at this clinic. Nurse Nancy welcomed me, answered my questions and helped to get ready for my procedure. Also, this clinic used a better medication for anaesthesia (compared to same procedure that I had at a different clinic 4 years ago), so that there was no bad headache right after it. Only good impression about the doctor Bauman as well. He asked me few questions, explained about the procedure and did everything very quickly. I hope, the personnel at the clinic is fairly rewarded for the amazing work they do.”

2. Oak Ridges Endoscopy Centre
Oak Ridges Medical Centre has been part of the community since early 2011 and has become renowned for their amazing service and personal touch.
Their top-notch gastroscopy service stands out. They give you clear, detailed instructions before the procedure so you feel ready, and their excellent care afterward makes everything smooth and stress-free.
We heard from a parent whose daughter had an endoscopy here. They really appreciated how the center made sure they understood how to care for her afterward.
Another highlight of the center is its team. The staff is incredibly professional and compassionate, making sure you feel comfortable and well taken care of during your visit.
One minor drawback could be their high demand—since they’re known for their exceptional care, it might mean a bit of a wait to get an appointment.
Well-organized and highly professional care
“The Centre was so well organized and great! They were on time for the appointment time. The nurse Anna made you feel comfortable while getting you ready for IV. Prior to the procedure, everyone introduced themselves and made you feel better, prior to procedure. After it was completed, they said that there was an email waiting for you with results prior to speaking with the doctor. Dr. Val Ginzburg came in and had a face to face meeting and explained the results where I could ask any questions I needed. Very professionally done. No waiting for another appointment to find out what your results were. Wonderful!”

Immediate result discussions
“I want to thank the establishment for your professionalism and your tentative care towards me. I was very worried at first seeing as how it was my first examination. However, the confidence of the doctor and their team were very positive and made me feel comfortable. What stood out to me upon exiting the centre, a doctor talked to me about the results of the examination. Thankfully I’m lucky and everything was okay. Thank you so much!”

3. Kensington Screening Clinic
Kensington Screening Clinic specializes in a range of endoscopy services, ensuring thorough and accurate diagnostics.
They offer both gastroscopies to examine your upper digestive tract and colonoscopies for your lower digestive tract. With state-of-the-art equipment and highly skilled gastroenterologists, you can be sure you’re in good hands.
The clinic’s staff is highly trained, very supportive, and committed to making you feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice their friendly approach, which makes a real difference.
A patient we talked to mentioned this was her second endoscopy in five years, and she still found the service and staff wonderful.
However, one thing to be aware of is that the clinic’s popularity can sometimes lead to longer wait times for scheduling appointments. It’s a good idea to check availability well in advance, especially if your procedure is time-sensitive.
Kind and wonderful staff
“I got an gastroscopy and a colonoscopy the nurses both were so nice and caring it’s the second time in 7 years they were wonderful. Thank u so much for ur kindness. Great staff from the receptionist to nurses and doctor.”
-Irene Araujo, Google Review
Excellent, humorous specialist
“Excellent experience once again! I’ve had screenings here several times. Dr. Gabe Kandel is an outstanding specialist, fully answering my questions, calling me by name, all with a sense of humour. The other doctors and staff are all terrific. They provided good instructions prior to the procedure. Kudos!”

4. The Clinic At Beverly Hills Toronto
The Clinic at Beverly Hills is renowned for its comprehensive care when it comes to examining the upper digestive tract.
Their procedures, like the upper endoscopy, employ a high-tech camera to investigate and diagnose any pesky issues affecting the esophagus, stomach, or upper small intestine.
One of the things we love about this clinic is how much they care about your comfort. They offer options to make you feel at ease during procedures, like different sedation choices.
If you’re in a hospital setting, you can even go for a lighter sedation, which can make the whole thing feel less intimidating. And their team of specialists makes sure your experience is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
But because so many people love their services, you might find yourself waiting a bit longer for an appointment. So, it’s a good idea to book early if you can.
Life-changing care with exceptional support
“To all who need help, please read. I have suffered with advanced, often life debilitating, hemorrhoids for years and when I say suffered this is no understatement. Two trips to the ER were customary the past few years as the disease progressed. I tried every single possible remedy known to man. Finally, with much fear and trepidation I knew I really needed to reach out for professional help. The journey led me to the Beverly Hills Clinic in Toronto, Ontario. Anything medical is my Achilles Heel I might add ever since I was little. I was nervous and scared but I did it and then I met Dr. Bhargava and her team. From that meeting onward I was never scared or nervous again. I have no words to fully impart what a positive experience this was but I’ll try. Dr. Bhargava is truly a wonderful doctor. Her extensive expertise, her incredible skill set as well as her level of humanity, compassion and patient care is second to none. She performed my Elite laser Hemorrhoidplasty at the Beverly Hills Clinic. From the minute you walk through the door you are surrounded, supported and cared for by a phenomenal group of professionals from reception to support staff, nurses to anaesthesiologists. I had my procedure done a few days ago, and have already been called three times by Visakh, the doctor’s assistant, as well as emailed and texted to see how I am doing. His attentiveness and kindness were incredible. The level of patient care made me feel supported and cared for which was an essential part of my recovery. This procedure has given me a new lease on life. Already I’m healing and I am still in shock (a positive shock) at the ease of this procedure but its powerful life changing results. If you are in my situation, please reach out to Dr. Bhargava. You will forever be thankful you did. I have a new lease on life both literally and figuratively.”

5. Provis-Rudd Endoscopy Services
Provis-Rudd Endoscopy Services offers a variety of procedures, including colonoscopy, gastroscopy, and flexible sigmoidoscopy. This makes it a versatile choice for addressing many stomach and bowel concerns.
What impresses us about this clinic is their dedication to patient safety and convenience. They even provide virtual anesthetic assessments before the procedure, so you can feel at ease and well-prepared for your visit.
And it doesn’t stop there. Before your appointment, you’ll receive detailed instructions to help you get ready, whether it’s for a colonoscopy or a gastroscopy. This way, you won’t face any surprises when the day arrives.
The staff is another highlight of Provis-Rudd. They’re not only skilled but also incredibly supportive, guiding you through everything with care and professionalism. We think that this personal touch makes the experience much more comfortable.
However, one potential drawback might be that some services aren’t covered by OHIP, so it’s worth checking their uninsured services page in advance.
Supportive, and kind staff
“I had a great experience at Provis-Rudd Endoscopy Services. The staff was extremely helpful, supportive, and kind. I would return if I need to visit again. It’s a very nice place, and I recommend it to anyone who has been referred by their doctor for health issues. This is one of the best facilities and offers excellent service. Thank you so much for your generosity and hospitality. Wishing you all the best! Stay blessed always.”

Professional, caring, and attentive service
“I had an excellent experience. I was very nervous as I went there for 2 procedures at the same time. The staff was professional, caring, and very attentive throughout my visit. They took very good care of me. Honestly speaking it was so quick and professionally done that i didn’t feel anything at all. The facility was clean and well-organized, and my appointment ran smoothly from check-in to the consultation.”
