Digestive Disease Services

 

We provide diagnostic and interventional treatments for a wide variety of digestive diseases and gastrointestinal disorders:

  • Diagnostic endoscopic procedures to help physicians identify and analyze disease conditions

  • Therapeutic endoscopic procedures, aimed at treating the disease or removing abnormal tissue

  • Screening endoscopic procedures to aid early detection of diseases, such as colon cancer. 

  • Percutaneous gastrostomy tube (PEG tube)

  • ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), used primarily to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts, including gallstones, inflammatory strictures, leaks (from trauma or surgery) and cancer. 

  • EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound) combines endoscopy and ultrasound in order to obtain images and information regarding the digestive tract, surrounding tissue and organs

  • Esophageal Manometry helps physicians diagnose problems associated with swallowing difficulties, heartburn and chest pain.

  • 24-hour pH study

  • Bravo PH System, a patient-friendly test for heartburn that wirelessly measures the pattern of gastric reflux without uncomfortable catheters. Bravo PH helps patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and asthma, as well as patients with chest pain.
