A comprehensive exam, no waiting, and the most reasonable prices in Quebec
Are you looking for a colonoscopy in a private clinic in Montreal, without the delays of the public system? Clinique 1037 offers you quick access to this essential exam in a professional, attentive, and state-of-the-art environment.
Performed by a gastroenterologist, a colonoscopy (long colonoscopy) is an exam that allows the inside of the colon to be examined using a colonoscope, a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera. This exam is performed under conscious sedation, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
What is a colonoscopy used for?
A colonoscopy allows the entire colon to be viewed, all the way to the cecum (the junction between the colon and the small intestine). It is used to:
- Detect and remove polyps (precancerous lesions);
- Diagnose inflammatory diseases (such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis);
- Investigate the cause of digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, bleeding, bowel problems, or anemia;
- Follow up on a personal or family history of colorectal cancer.
How much does a private colonoscopy cost in Montreal?
Our fees vary depending on the exam. The price for a private colonoscopy is $1,179 at our private clinic in Montreal (compared to $1,500 to $2,700 at most other private clinics). Some private insurance plans may cover part of the cost.
How is the exam performed?
The exam is generally well tolerated, as it is performed under sedation. Here are the main steps:
- Colon preparation: You will need to follow a specific diet and take a laxative solution to completely empty your colon.
- Day of the exam: A specialized medical team will welcome you to our private colonoscopy clinic in Montreal.
- Exam: The colonoscope is gently inserted through the anus. The exam takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Results: If polyps are detected, they can be removed immediately. The results are sent to your doctor quickly.
After the procedure, a rest period is scheduled. Since you will have received sedation, you will need someone to accompany you home.

Frequently Asked Questions – Colonoscopy in a private clinic in Montreal
-
Do I need a medical referral for a private colonoscopy at Clinique 1037 in Montreal?
Yes. A prescription from your doctor is generally required for a colonoscopy, even in a private clinic. Contact us for more information.
-
What is the difference between a sigmoidoscopy and a colonoscopy?
A sigmoidoscopy examines only the lower part of the colon (rectum and sigmoid), while a colonoscopy explores the entire colon up to the cecum. The endoscopy specialist will recommend the exam that is best suited to your situation.
-
Is the examination painful?
No. It is performed under sedation. You will be relaxed, and the examination is not usually painful. You may experience cramps or bloating after the examination, but these will quickly subside. -
How long should I allow for the examination?
The procedure takes an average of 30 minutes, but you should allow around two hours at the clinic for registration, preparation, and recovery. -
Are there any risks involved?
Although colonoscopy is generally a safe procedure, there are some rare risks. Possible complications include bleeding (especially if polyps are removed), perforation of the colon (tearing of the intestinal wall, very rare but more serious), reaction to sedation, and temporary discomfort after the exam. These risks are rare, especially when the exam is performed in a controlled environment by experienced gastroenterologists. Furthermore, they are much lower than the risks of leaving undiagnosed cancer to develop…
