Digestive endoscopy aids in the diagnosis and treatment of common gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms like acid reflux, difficulty in swallowing, abdominal pain, indigestion, bleeding, diarrhea, constipation and jaundice. Timely endoscopy can prevent esophageal, gastric and colon cancer by early detection and treatment of pre-cancerous lesions.
The Digestive Endoscopy Unit provides affordable and high-quality gastrointestina endoscopy in a comfortable and safe surrounding.
The Unit’s staff is comprised of board-certified gastroenterologists dedicated to provide expert and compassionate digestive health care. They are ably supported by registered nurses and technicians with specialized training in assisting in endoscopic procedures. Anesthesiologists with particular expertise in GI procedures are on hand to provide deep sedation if necessary.
