GI Procedures

Endoscopy

Endoscopy is a safe medical procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube, equipped with a light and camera, to view the interior of the gastrointestinal system. Endoscopy can be performed in our Randolph Road, Ballantyne, Huntersville, and Mooresville offices. Learn More

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is an out-patient procedure used to screen for colorectal abnormalities, including cancer and precancerous conditions.

Upper Endoscopy

An upper endoscopy observes the inside of the upper digestive tract — the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine. Learn More

Endoscopic Ultrasound

These sound wave-produced images are used to determine the cause of symptoms of abdominal pain, or to diagnose or determine the spread of certain types of cancer. EUS is also a valuable tool in evaluating certain lung diseases or viewing organs such as the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver. Learn More

Radiofrequency Ablation for Barrett's Esophagus

Radiofrequency ablation is a treatment used for Barrett's esophagus which uses radio waves to kill precancerous and cancerous cells in the Barrett’s tissue.
