Services

  • Colonoscopy: A Colonoscopy is a preventive screening tool that allows our specialists to examine the entire colon for polyps, inflammation, or other abnormalities. Early detection through colonoscopy can significantly reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

  • Endoscopy: Endoscopy involves using a flexible tube with a light and camera to visualize the upper digestive tract. This procedure aids in diagnosing conditions such as ulcers, inflammation, and gastrointestinal bleeding.

  • EGD (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy): A diagnostic procedure to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and upper duodenum, identifying and treating various conditions.

  • EGD with Dilation: Combines diagnostic EGD with therapeutic dilation to treat strictures and improve swallowing.
