I need a colonoscopy or a cystoscopy. How can I make an Appointment?
The Medigo Endoscopy Center does not schedule endoscopy appointments; appointments are made by the CISSS de l'Outaouais following a referral from your doctor.

It is important to call 819-966-6100 ext 335190 to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This will allow you to be given another appointment and enable another patient to benefit from the slot. Appointments cannot be rescheduled within 48 hours. Therefore, it is important to cancel your appointment in advance. The call center is open 7 days a week.

You can call your pharmacist for advice on preparation or contact the appointment center at 819-966-6100 ext 335190.

If you are taking blood-thinning medications (Coumadin, Plavix, Pradaxa, Xarelto, Eliquis, Brilinta, etc.), follow the instructions you were given for stopping them. Continue taking your other medications (including Aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs), unless otherwise directed by your doctor. On the day of the exam, take these medications with a sip of water. Stop taking iron supplements 7 days before the exam (for colonoscopy). Stop taking fiber supplements (e.g., Metamucil) 3 days before the exam (for colonoscopy).

Colonoscopy: Before the exam, you will have a discussion with the doctor and nurse about possible medication during the procedure. Some patients choose not to take any medication. We do not perform a fully sedated colonoscopy, but it is possible to receive medication to manage pain and reduce your level of consciousness. If you have had a painful colonoscopy experience in the past, it is important to inform the healthcare team so that the medication can be adjusted for your comfort.

Cystoscopy : A numbing gel is applied before inserting the device to ensure the exam is performed comfortably.
