GI treatment options
We are committed to providing patient-centered treatments that are specially tailored to your needs. Our gastroenterologists offer surgical and non-surgical solutions, including many outpatient and minimally invasive procedures such as endoscopy, a procedure where doctors insert a long, thin tube with a tiny camera on its end to visually examine internal organs and tissues.
Our doctors offer a wide range of treatment options, including:
- Colonoscopy — An endoscopic exam wherein a colonoscope is used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine, colon and rectum
- Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) — An endoscopic procedure used to collect tissue for examination and remove cancerous and precancerous growths from the lining of the digestive tract
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) — A procedure that uses endoscopy and X-rays to diagnose and treat problems of the bile and pancreatic ducts

- Esophageal endoscopy (EGD) — An endoscopic procedure used to examine the lining of the esophagus and diagnose and treat certain upper GI tract disorders
- EUS-guided procedure — An endoscopic procedure in which doctors use endoscopic ultrasound to view the body's internal structures and guide them through the examination
- EUS fine-needle aspiration — An endoscopic procedure that uses EUS-generated sonograms to help doctors see where to place a biopsy needle to remove tissue for further investigation
- Immunosuppressive medication — A non-invasive method in which certain drugs are prescribed to treat and manage conditions such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
