- Includes biopsies when needed for conditions like GERD, ulcers, or inflammation
- Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
- A focused exam of the lower part of the colon
- Often used for screening or evaluation in select patients, sometimes with less preparation than a full colonoscopy
- Esophageal Dilation
- Performed during an EGD to stretch a narrowed section of the esophagus
- Helps relieve symptoms of difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) caused by strictures or rings
- Video Capsule Endoscopy
- A small āpillācameraā swallowed to capture thousands of images of the small intestine
- Used to evaluate unexplained bleeding, Crohnās disease, or small bowel tumors when standard tests are inconclusive
Anorectal & Lower GI Procedures
Treating common colorectal conditions often begins right here in the office, with many procedures that are quick, require no anesthesia, and are performed in a standard exam room.
- Hemorrhoid Banding (Rubber Band Ligation)
- Placement of small rubber bands around internal hemorrhoids to shrink and remove them
- Minimally invasive, lowādowntime treatment for bleeding or protruding hemorrhoids
Liver Ultrasound and FibroScanĀ®
We offer advanced liver assessment to evaluate liver health and detect fibrosis or scarring early.

- Helps detect fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, cysts, tumors, and other abnormalities
- FibroScanĀ® (Liver Elastography)
