Endoscopic Services for Gastrointestinal Conditions

Gastroenterologists perform many endoscopic procedures. An endoscope is used to look inside hollow organs and project images onto a monitor or computer screen. Most of these procedures are non-invasive. This enables you to normally leave the hospital the same day as the procedure, without an overnight stay.

Procedures and tests we perform include:

  • BRAVO™ Capsule Placement
  • Colonoscopy
  • Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR)
  • Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
  • Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
  • EndoFLIP (Endoluminal Functional Lumen Imaging Probe)
  • Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
  • Hemorrhoid Energy Therapy (HET)
  • Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF®)
  • Upper Endoscopy (EGD)
