Services

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy remains the most effective tool for detecting colon cancer early and removing precolonic polyps before they become a problem. During the exam, your doctor guides a thin, flexible scope through the colon to examine the lining for abnormalities, taking biopsies if needed. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, experiencing only mild pressure or bloating. The exam itself typically takes 15 to 60 minutes, though patients should plan for two to three hours total, including prep and recovery time before heading home.

Capsule Endoscopy

For patients with unexplained GI bleeding or suspected small intestine disease, capsule endoscopy offers a noninvasive way to examine areas of the small bowel that traditional upper endoscopy and colonoscopy can't reach. Patients swallow a pill-sized camera that captures images as it travels naturally through the digestive tract, allowing physicians to detect ulcers, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, and other abnormalities without sedation or downtime. It's a simple, well-tolerated way to get a clearer picture of small bowel health.

Infusion Therapy

Patients managing Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis often benefit from infusion therapy, which delivers medication directly into the bloodstream to help control inflammation and manage flare-ups. Our patients have the flexibility to receive infusions in the comfort of their own home or at a dedicated infusion center, depending on what fits their lifestyle and treatment plan. Our team coordinates closely with each patient to make ongoing infusion care as convenient and comfortable as possible.
