Endoscopy/Colonoscopy

St Vincent’s Lismore’s Endoscopy Unit provides a modern and comfortable unit for your day procedures.

Along with specialist referral, St Vincent’s provides a streamlined ‘Open Access’ referral system. This allows the admission process to be initiated directly from your General Practitioner, significantly decreasing waiting times.
