At Gastroenterology Associates of the Piedmont (GAP), we are proud to share exciting news that reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence in patient care. As the best ambulatory surgery center for colonoscopy and endoscopy, we have been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a 2026 Best Ambulatory Surgery Center—and we are honored to be one of only two centers in the Triad region to receive this distinction.
This recognition reinforces what we strive for every day—delivering safe, high-quality, and patient-centered gastrointestinal care to the communities we serve.
What This Recognition Means for the Best Ambulatory Surgery Center for Colonoscopy and Endoscopy
The U.S. News & World Report Best Ambulatory Surgery Center designation is not easily earned. It is based on a rigorous, data-driven evaluation of more than 4,400 ambulatory surgery centers across the country, with only about 21% achieving a “high performing” rating.
Our center was specifically recognized in the colonoscopy and endoscopy category, which highlights:
- Strong patient outcomes
- Low complication rates
- Adherence to the highest standards of care
- A consistent focus on safety and quality
For our patients, this means you can feel confident knowing you are receiving care that meets nationally recognized benchmarks for excellence.
A Commitment to Patient Safety and Outcomes
Everything we do at GAP is centered around our patients. From routine screenings like colonoscopies to advanced endoscopic procedures, we prioritize:
- Patient safety at every step
- Thorough, accurate diagnoses
- Minimally invasive techniques whenever possible
- Comfortable, efficient outpatient experiences

This recognition validates the systems, protocols, and clinical expertise we have built to ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient we serve.
