Colonoscopies

Colonoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows direct visualization of the colon and rectum. It is used to screen for colorectal cancer, detect polyps, and evaluate symptoms such as bleeding or unexplained abdominal pain. 



Upper Endoscopies (EGD)

An upper endoscopy, or esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), is used to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine. It helps diagnose causes of reflux, heartburn, difficulty swallowing, ulcers, and other upper-GI symptoms.

Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopies

Capsule endoscopy uses a pill-sized camera that is swallowed to capture images of the small intestine. It helps identify causes of bleeding, inflammation, or other abnormalities that may not be seen through traditional endoscopy or colonoscopy.



Breath Testing

Breath testing is a non-invasive method used to diagnose digestive issues such as lactose intolerance, bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and carbohydrate malabsorption.

Enteroscopy

Enteroscopy is a specialized endoscopic procedure used to examine the small intestine more deeply than standard endoscopy. It can be used to diagnose bleeding, remove polyps, or treat areas of narrowing or inflammation.
