Our digestive health treatments and services
Along with nonsurgical approaches and traditional surgery, we offer endoscopic procedures and innovative laparoscopic and robotic surgery to diagnose and treat GI conditions.
Endoscopy
Our surgical facility has two dedicated endoscopy suites where physicians visually examine upper GI issues, as well as treat conditions such as polyps. An upper endoscopy is an outpatient procedure that is used to diagnose or treat a variety of symptoms, including stomach or abdominal pain, vomiting, ulcers and others.
Minimally invasive GI surgery for GERD
We specialize in treatment for severe acid reflux and GERD using minimally invasive procedures. These surgical procedures use very small incisions and result in less blood loss, reduced scarring and a faster recovery.
