GI Procedures

Abnormal Liver Function Study

Abnormal liver function studies are blood tests that check the health of the liver to determine if the liver is strained, inflamed, or diseased.

Anorectal Manometry

Anorectal manometry is an exam that measures the reflexes and strength of the muscles that are needed for a typical bowel movement.

Argon Laser Therapy

Argon laser therapy uses a laser device with argon gas to emit light and target specific areas to assist with troubling GI issues.

Capsule Endoscopy

Capsule endoscopy allows photos of the intestines and small bowel to be captured via a small capsule that’s swallowed. It helps to pinpoint GI issues.

Chronic Care Management

Chronic care management helps patients with chronic conditions establish ongoing relationships with medical teams, create treatment plans, and more.

Colon Cancer Screening

Colon cancer screenings check for and remove any non-cancerous polyps or cancerous growths on the colon inner wall when no other GI issues exist.

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is an exam that's done to evaluate the entire colon. It looks for any irritation, swelling, polyps, or cancer so it can be removed.

EGD

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is a procedure where a scope is used to address issues in the upper GI tract (the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine).

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection

Endoscopic mucosal resection is an outpatient procedure where doctors extract tumors below the intestinal wall using an endoscope (flexible scope).

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)

An endoscopic ultrasound uses a scope to look inside the intestines for abnormalities. The tool is often used to stage cancer.

Enteroscopy

Enteroscopy is a procedure utilizing a scope that’s inserted into the jejunum (second portion of the small intestine) to address GI issues.

ERCP

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography addresses issues with pancreatic and biliary structures using a scope to examine the small intestines.

Esophageal Dilation

Esophageal dilation is necessary to dilate or stretch out a narrowed or obstructed area of the esophagus to help you eat and drink as normal.

Esophageal Manometry

Esophageal manometry analyzes the esophagus' contractile and relaxation ability. It’s used to identify irritations or to prep for surgery.

Feeding Tube Insertion (PEG)

Feeding tube insertion is placing a tube in the stomach wall to help patients get nutrition, fluids, and medication quickly when they're unable to.

FibroScan®

Fibroscan is an ultrasound technology utilized to evaluate the liver. It can measure the state of fibrosis or steatosis in the liver.

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy

A flexible sigmoidoscopy exam assesses the colon lining for GI issues. It’s completed via a scope that’s inserted into the rectum and large intestine.

Hemorrhoid Banding

Hemorrhoid banding is a technique that places a rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid to cut off blood supply and cause it to drop off.

Infusion Therapy (IV Infusion)

Infusion therapy enables medications to be directly administered to the bloodstream through an IV. It allows controlled dosing and faster absorption.

Sphincterotomy

Sphincterotomy is a surgical procedure that makes an incision in the anal sphincter to decrease pressure. This allows the anal fissure to heal.
