Services
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy examines the colon and rectum using a flexible scope to detect polyps, cancer, or other intestinal issues. It is recommended for adults starting at age 45 or earlier with family history. Patients benefit from early detection and removal of precancerous polyps, reducing colorectal cancer risk.
Endoscopic Ultrasound
This procedure uses an endoscope with an ultrasound device to examine the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding organs. It provides detailed images for diagnosing tumors, cysts, and other abnormalities in the pancreas, bile ducts, and esophagus.
ERCP
ERCP combines endoscopy and X-ray to diagnose and treat bile duct and pancreatic conditions. It addresses blockages, stones, and tumors through minimally invasive techniques, offering both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits in one procedure.
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
This exam checks the rectum and lower colon for abnormalities like polyps or inflammation. It is a shorter procedure than colonoscopy, often used for initial screening or follow-up in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms.
Endoscopic Weight-Loss
Minimally invasive procedures like gastric balloons and sleeve gastroplasty help patients achieve weight loss. These options are ideal for individuals struggling with obesity-related conditions who have not succeeded with diet and exercise alone.
