TAMPA – AdventHealth Tampa has opened a new Center for Interventional Endoscopy.
The center offers minimally invasive, virtually scarless procedures designed to diagnose and treat complex digestive disorders while reducing recovery time and improving comfort.
The hospital system said the center features the latest version of the endoscope allowing for the clearest visualization, with optimized lighting and color for the sharpest images. It also touts
new technology that is proven to reduce radiation exposure by more than 84% for endoscopic procedures that require X-rays.
“The CIE allows patients to get advanced endoscopic procedures that may not be performed elsewhere,” said Dr. Michael Harris, interventional endoscopist at AdventHealth Tampa. “By combining leading-edge techniques with a compassionate, team-based approach, we’re transforming digestive care right here in Tampa Bay and helping patients get back to living life as quickly and comfortably as possible.”
Alice Richards appreciates the endoscopic treatment she received at AdventHealth Tampa.
“I am very grateful to AdventHealth and Dr. Harris,” Richards said. “He put five stents in my bile duct that made it well, so I didn’t have to have surgery.”
The center is modeled after AdventHealth Orlando’s nationally recognized Center for Interventional Endoscopy, known for its pioneering work in minimally invasive procedures and physician training.
The Tampa center is now open and accepting referrals at 3100 E. Fletcher Ave., Suite 100.
