Procedures & Treatments

If you’re experiencing digestive issues or severe symptoms that over-the-counter medications aren’t helping with, we have a team of specialists here to help diagnose and treat your condition. Our treatment options can vary based on your individual condition, but may include: 

• Colonoscopy: Colonoscopies are performed by a gastroenterologist, whether you need a routine colonoscopy screening, or have an undiagnosed digestive problem. After being sedated, your doctor will insert a scope into your rectum and through your colon. Using a camera at the end of the scope, your doctor will look for precancerous polyps or signs of cancer. During the exam, your doctor can remove any polyps discovered.
• Endoscopy: Endoscopic procedures are used to visually examine your upper digestive system. This is done with the help of a camera on the end of a flexible tube. A gastroenterology specialist uses an endoscopy to diagnose and treat conditions that affect the upper part of the digestive system.
• Stool-Based Tests: Stool-based tests look at your stool for possible signs of polyps – growths that sometimes turn cancerous – or for colon cancer itself. You collect samples of your stool that are then sent to a lab for analysis.
• PillCam: PillCam is a minimally invasive ingestible camera in a capsule that allows our specialists to visualize the small bowel. Patients ingest this small recording device inside a capsule, which they eventually pass and don’t need to collect.

Through innovative technology and working closely with infectious disease, hematology, oncology, surgery and primary care providers, we build a team dedicated to providing the best possible care.
