Procedures We Perform

• Gastrostomy Tube Placements - A procedure which provides an alternative method of feeding through the stomach when normal methods of feeding are impaired.
  Hemorrhoidal Banding - Also known as Rubber Band Ligation, this procedure is used to treat internal hemorrhoids.
• Endoscopic Ultrasound - This procedure uses an endoscope with an ultrasound probe to evaluate difficult to image areas of the gastrointestinal tract such as the pancreas or submucosal nodules, diagnose and stagecancers, and provide treatments such as celiac plexus blocks or cyst drainage.
• Capsule Endoscopy - A small pill camera which is used to evaluate the small bowel.
• Bravo pH Probe - A 48 hour test which allows for evaluation of reflux symptoms.
• Esophageal Manometry - A test used to assess pressure and motor function of the esophagus designed to enable the diagnoses and treatment of complaints of chest pain, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, and food digestion.
• Anorectal Manometry - A test used to evaluate the function and coordination of the anal sphincters and pelvic floor muscles useful in assessing constipation, fecal incontinence, and anorectal function.
