Colonoscopy and Lower GI
Colonoscopy lets your doctor examine the lining of your large intestine (colon) for abnormalities by slowly advancing a thin flexible tube into your colon.
Colon Cancer Screening
According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States.
Endoscopy
An endoscopy often referred to as an upper GI endoscopy or upper endoscopy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract.
Endoscopic Ultrasound
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) allows your doctor to examine your esophageal and stomach linings as well as the walls of your upper and lower gastrointestinal tract.
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
Similar to a colonoscopy, a Flexible Sigmoidoscopy occurs when a physician needs to appraise the lining of the rectum and the large intestine
Upper Endoscopy
Sometimes referred to as upper GI endoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), or panendoscopy, the upper endoscopy occurs when a physician needs to appraise the lining of the upper part of the patient’s GI tract; including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
