Endoscopy Services
Welcome to Endoscopy -
Thank you for choosing Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa for your endoscopy procedure. The following information explains what you need to know before and after your procedure. We hope this will help to decrease your stress or anxiety associated with having an endoscopy procedure.
To
help you prepare, you will receive a phone call the day before your
exam to review instructions and answer any questions you may have.
If you have
not been reached at home and have questions, please call 641.422.7394
before 3 p.m. or 641.422.7777 after 3 p.m.
When you arrive for your procedure, report to Patient Registration located on first floor adjacent to the main (south) lobby.
You must have a licensed driver with you for any sedated procedure as you cannot drive for 24 hours afterwards. It is preferable to have a family member or close friend so the physician can provide that person with a verbal report about your test results.

6:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and emergency cases as required. The department is
