Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is a vital diagnostic procedure used to examine the inner lining of the colon and rectum. It can help detect inflammation, ulcers, polyps, and early signs of colorectal cancer, often before symptoms appear. Early detection saves lives.

At Surgical Solutions Network, we provide timely access to private colonoscopy procedures, helping you take control of your health without lengthy delays. We offer private colonoscopies at our modern surgical centre in New Westminster, British Columbia.

Who We Help

We currently accept private-pay colonoscopy patients from the following provinces:

Residents in Alberta & Outside British Columbia

If you live in Alberta or another Canadian province outside of British Columbia, you are eligible for a private colonoscopy at Surgical Solutions Network’s accredited surgical centre in New Westminster, B.C.

Many of our Alberta patients travel to B.C. to avoid long wait times for colonoscopies and get peace of mind faster.

Residents of British Columbia

We are only able to accept B.C. residents for private colonoscopy if the procedure is not covered by MSP (Medical Services Plan). This includes cases where:

• MSP does not approve the referral

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our intake team can help confirm your eligibility.
