We evaluate and treat a variety of digestive conditions, including acid reflux (GERD), colon polyps, colorectal cancer, H. pylori infection, abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and other gastrointestinal concerns.
Our services include colonoscopy, upper GI endoscopy (EGD), colon cancer screening, GERD evaluation and treatment, colon polyp removal, and H. pylori testing and treatment.
Most adults at average risk should begin colon cancer screening at age 45. Earlier screening may be recommended based on your personal or family medical history.
