Colonoscopy
The gold standard for colon-cancer prevention. A flexible scope examines the full length of the colon so polyps can be found and removed before they become a concern. Screening is now recommended starting at age 45.

Procedures
Procedures we perform
Advanced diagnostics and treatments — most performed comfortably in our on-site endoscopy suite with sedation by a dedicated anesthesiologist.
Capsule Endoscopy
You swallow a vitamin-sized capsule with a tiny camera inside. As it travels naturally and painlessly through your digestive tract, it captures images of areas a standard scope can’t easily reach — like the small intestine.
ERCP
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pairs an upper endoscopy with X-ray imaging. A contrast dye highlights the bile and pancreatic ducts, helping us diagnose — and often treat — stones and blockages in a single visit.
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
A focused look at the lower colon and rectum using a short, flexible, lighted scope. It helps pinpoint the cause of rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, and changes in bowel habits.
Hemorrhoid Treatments
Comfortable in-office options — including rubber-band ligation and infrared coagulation (IRC) — to gently shrink or remove internal and external hemorrhoids, with no hospital stay required.
Upper Endoscopy (EGD)
A close examination of the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine to find the cause of reflux, ulcers, swallowing trouble, and other upper-GI symptoms — safely and quickly.

Questions, answered
A few of the things patients ask most. Can’t find your answer? We’re a phone call away.
Call the officeDo I need a referral to be seen?
Not necessarily — it depends on your insurance plan. Call our office and we’ll help you confirm what’s needed before your visit.
Will I be sedated for my procedure?
Yes. Colonoscopy and upper endoscopy are performed with IV Propofol sedation administered by a dedicated anesthesiologist, so you rest comfortably throughout.
How do I prepare for a colonoscopy?
You’ll receive detailed prep instructions when you schedule. In general it involves a clear-liquid diet and a prep solution the day before. We’re always available for questions.
What insurance do you accept?
We participate with most major plans. Please call the office with your insurance details and we’ll verify coverage for you.
