Gastroenterology

Our GI Suites have specialized equipment to view and diagnose a patient's gastrointestinal tract by minimally invasive means. Our GI physicians perform a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures including, but not limited to:

Gastroscopy

This procedure examines the upper portion of the GI tract. A thin tube (gastroscope) is inserted in the mouth to examine the upper portion of the gastrointestinal tract. Patients may be sedated during this procedure.

Colonoscopy

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy

This procedure is performed for screening of the lower portion of the rectum and colon.

ERCP
