Dr. Manoj K. Mehta is a Castle-Connolly and Chicago Magazine Top Doctor. He founded the Endoscopy Center to offer a personalized, cost-effective alternative to hospital-based GI care. He emphasizes studies that show colonoscopies can cost twice as much in a hospital setting. “Patients are led to believe that’s the best place for all routine care, and that’s not necessarily true,” he says.

Dr. Laura K. Bianchi, a trusted name in the community for more than 17 years, recently joined the practice after building a thriving career at Evanston Hospital. Known for her compassionate approach, she focuses on creating a collaborative patient experience. “Patients who have a good experience with their visit become more positively engaged in the teamwork that goes into keeping them healthy,” she says.

Together, they are committed to the philosophy that patients come first. Both physicians are known for providing high-quality care, taking the time to listen to their patients, and empowering patients to make informed health care decisions. “Having our own facility allows us the ability to provide the personalized care that patients see slipping away,” Dr. Mehta says. “We have the flexibility to treat patients as everyone would wish to be treated—as we would want our own families to be treated.”

Drs. Mehta and Bianchi provide comprehensive consultations, endoscopy, and colonoscopy services in their fully accredited, ASGE-certified GI Lab. An on-site anesthesiologist and luxurious atmosphere ensure your safety and comfort.
