Our Gastroenterology Services

Our gastroenterology team provides advanced diagnostic procedures and specialized care for a wide range of digestive conditions. We offer comprehensive evaluations, preventive screenings, and minimally invasive procedures to help diagnose and manage gastrointestinal diseases.

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is one of the most effective screening tools for detecting colorectal cancer, colon polyps, and other abnormalities of the large intestine. Regular screenings can help identify concerns early, often before symptoms develop.

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)

Also called an upper endoscopy, an EGD allows your provider to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine (duodenum). This procedure is commonly used to evaluate symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, abdominal pain, ulcers, bleeding, and other upper digestive tract conditions.

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy

A flexible sigmoidoscopy examines the lower portion of the colon and rectum. It may be recommended to investigate rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain, or other symptoms affecting the lower digestive tract.
