Procedures performed include endoscopy of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts; capsule endoscopy; biopsy of the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, large bowel and liver; polypectomy; motility studies of the gastrointestinal tract; pH probe testing for gastroesophageal reflux; and breath hydrogen testing.

Our team also includes a highly skilled and well-equipped pathology staff and nutritionists.
