Saratoga-Schenectady Endoscopy Center LLC has broken ground on a 35,000-square-foot structure that will more than double the existing capacity to perform endoscopy procedures, according to Deborah Hunt, RN, and administrator for the center.<\/p>\n

The buildings at 846 and 848 Route 50 in Burnt Hills currently are used as offices for a number of independent gastroenterologists and their practices. One-half of the space also houses four operating rooms. Even though the physicians do procedures at Saratoga Hospital and Ellis Hospital in Schenectady, as well as the Endoscopy Center, the demand for these types of procedures has been mounting.<\/p>\n

“We never thought we would outgrow the four-room facility,” said Hunt.<\/p>\n

Endoscopy is a nonsurgical procedure used to examine a person’s digestive tract. Using an endoscope, a flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it, a doctor can view pictures of a patient’s digestive tract on a monitor.<\/p>\n

“More important, we do a good job at performing high-quality, low-cost procedures,” said Hunt. “The insurance companies like us and so does the community.”<\/p>\n

“There are many other facilities like ours,” Hunt said. “But our patients are coming from Albany and Fulton counties as well as Saratoga and Schenectady.”<\/p>\n

An access road has been created and a private drive made to the new parcel, which will be built in back of the current buildings on Route 50 and will be connected. When complete, there will be two ways to access the facility from Route 50.<\/p>\n

The structure will cover approximately 34,700 square feet.<\/p>\n

Sano Rubin Construction Services of Albany is the general contractor. The architect on the project is Paul Huysman of Bennetts & Huysman Architects of Syracuse.<\/p>\n

Once the new building is complete, the 17 doctors associated with Saratoga-Schenectady Gastroenterologists Associates, as separate professional corporation, will occupy the entire current building. The new and larger building will be dedicated to endoscopy procedures among its 10 operating rooms.<\/p>\n

Hunt said SSEC is dedicated to keeping ahead of medical trends in the area of endoscopy. The staff is "testing a whole, upgraded version of scopes and looking at the latest features. We are aligning ourselves with the most modern procedures."<\/p>\n
