VEC Benefits
We have developed the Vaughan Endoscopy Clinic to provide patients with a high quality, comfortable, patient centered service for screening colonoscopy. The clinic aims to reduce long waits for quality services, and eliminate the multiple doctor visits required for colon cancer screening in the hospital based system.
Our Clinic’s Goal Is Early Detection and Prevention of Colon Cancer
The ten partners are all active and experienced gastroenterologists, working out of 5 GTA hospitals. We are passionate about the prevention of colon cancer.
