A recent study suggests taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can increase the risk of developing COVID-19.

Our gastroenterologists and staff at Folsom Sierra Endoscopy Center are dedicated to providing quality, affordable care to the community in our quest to lower colon cancer rates and treat an array of digestive diseases, including Crohn’s Disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
We believe in compassionate medicine, where patients feel reassured and unrushed. We hold ourselves to the highest of standards, as our center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).
Our board-certified GI doctors specialize in a myriad of GI procedures, including colonoscopy, esophageal dilation, flexible sigmoidoscopy and upper endoscopy.
The physicians at Folsom Sierra Endoscopy Center not only meet but exceed U.S. benchmarks for quality in colonoscopy. Our adenoma detection rate (ADR), the rate at which our GI doctors identify adenomatous colon polyps, far surpasses the national benchmark of 25 percent. See Our Scores.
Additionally, our patients value the compassionate care they receive from our GI doctors and say they are likely to recommend our center for GI procedures.
If you are due for a colonoscopy or in need of a GI procedure, don’t put it off any longer. Give us a call today!
When it comes to reviews, our patients have highly rated the care they received from our GI doctors and staff, commending us on our professional and friendly personnel.
One five-star reviewer said, “What a great place! I mean…if you have to go to a place like this (and if you’re over 50, you should!), pick this one! The RNs, the anesthetist, the doc and the staff were all wonderful. My physical and emotional comfort seemed to be their first and only priority. Every step was explained carefully and every staff member introduced themselves and their role in my care. The facility was spotless and comfortable. The procedure was quick and painless!”
