SERVICES

About us

Advance Endoscopy & Specialist Centre concentrates on clinic-based out-patient investigation and treatment of colon, rectal, and upper GI ailments using the latest equipment and techniques.

Referral only

As a specialized clinic, we are not able to accept requests for appointments directly from patients. Your primary care physician or family doctor must fax a referral to us. Once we have received it, we will contact you directly to book the appointment.

Colonoscopy

Colon cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer through routine screening for polyps in the colon. Since all colon cancers come from polyps, we aim to find polyps early through the colonoscope and remove them before they turn into cancer. A polyp looks like a wart or cherry.

Gastroscopy

Gastroscopy (EGD) is a routine test in which a doctor examines the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract (gut). The upper gut consists of the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum. The doctor uses an endoscope for this procedure, sometimes called an endoscopy. We will advise that you take this test if you have symptoms such as recurring indigestion or heartburn, pains in the upper abdomen, repeated vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or other symptoms.​

Remove hemorrhoids

In this procedure, we place a latex band around the neck of a hemorrhoid or pile. It falls off with the band in 7-10 days. It is a painless procedure that does not require a general anesthetic or hospitalization.

Minor surgical procedures

We perform anorectal procedures (anal tags etc.), hemorrhoidal banding, removal of skin tags, moles and small lipoma, removal of cysts, etc.

Bowmanville Center for Sleep Disorders

We have three Durham Region locations to serve you. In Bowmanville, we are on the second floor of the south wing.

History

We have operated for over 25 years. We diagnose sleep disorders, such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea, insomnia, nighttime-related disorders, and periodic limb movements, in addition to performing sleep studies on children aged four years and up.

Professional staff

Our staff are highly trained professionals who bring many years of experience in the sleep field. They are medical professionals and polysomnographic technologists committed to maintaining an ethical and moral standard and conducting themselves professionally.

Dr. Kenneth Buttoo is the Medical Director for all three clinics. He studied at Manchester University in England and the University of Toronto and is American Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Sleep Medicine. Dr. Buttoo has co-authored numerous articles, including the most recent ones: Narcolepsy and Mental Illness, Forensic and Legal Aspects of Sleep Medicine, Pharmacological Management of Insomnia, Zolpidem’s use for Insomnia and Melatonin and Human Cardiovascular Disease.

Children

The doctor will examine every child and review all relevant medical history before proceeding with a sleep study. We have a specially designed room for parents to help their children feel more comfortable during their studies.

Adults

A polysomnogram is a diagnostic test we perform to diagnose various sleep disorders. This test uncovers possible reasons for daytime fatigue and tiredness along with specific sleep issues, such as sleep apnea, periodic limb movements etc.

Upon arriving at the lab, you will fill in some paperwork. The technologist will explain every step. They will attach electrodes, respiratory belts and finger probes to record the brain’s electrical activity, eye movements, muscle activity, respiratory effort, airflow, heart rate and oxygen levels. We record your sleep on video for your safety and to collate with the collected data.

The technologist will wake you at six a.m. to remove the electrodes and respiratory belts for you to return home or go to work.

About

We are committed to providing the highest quality patient care for the whole family and offer a wide array of fashion eyewear.

Exams

Our doctors provide comprehensive eye exams using the latest technologies and techniques which may uncover potentially sight-threatening eye diseases. Some conditions are not painful, may go unnoticed, and progress slowly. Early detection is critical as these issues might be slowed or stopped from worsening.

Children

Children need special attention since 80% of early learning is visual. The Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO) recommends a child’s first eye examination at six months and then annually starting at three years old. It’s never too late to get started.

Laser surgery consultations

Our doctors can determine whether or not you are a good candidate for the procedure and discuss the benefits and potential complications associated with laser vision correction.

Emergency

We accept patients for emergency eye care such as foreign body removal, eye injuries, pink eye, eye pain, sudden vision changes, flashes of light, or a sudden increase in “floaters” subject to the availability of a doctor or by appointment. For after-hours care, please visit your nearest walk-in clinic or hospital.

Midwifery care is available throughout one’s pregnancy, labour, birth, and the first six weeks after birth. Midwives spend time developing relationships with clients and their families and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
