Endoscopy
Endoscopy can be more
accurate than X-ray films.
Endoscopy (also referred to as upper endoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) or panendoscopy, is a procedure that enables our gastroenterologists to examine your esophagus, stomach and duodenum (first portion of the small intestine) using a thin flexible tube with its own lens and light source.
This procedure is helpful in evaluating symptoms of persistent upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing or weight loss. It’s also the best test for finding the cause of upper intestinal bleeding.

Through this procedure, our gastroenterologists can diagnose:
- Esophageal disorders
- Esophagitis, GERD
- Barrett’s esophagus
- Ulcers — which can develop in the esophagus, stomach or duodenum
- Tumors of the stomach or esophagus
- Gastritis
- Intestinal bleeding
