  1. OVERVIEW OF GASTROENTEROLOGY SERVICES OFFERED Our state of the art offices offer the latest in technology and the convenience of full comprehensive gastrointestinal and liver disease care under one roof. Convenient in office procedures such as Ultrasound, Capsule Endoscopy, Esophageal and Anorectal Manometry, Breath Testing & PH Studies are offered at our North Houston office and onsite lab services through Quest are provided in all three locations. From consultative services and diagnostic procedures to more important endoscopic procedures, our physicians have achieved a seamless integration of services by providing them under one roof. Endoscopic procedural services include:

  2. Colonoscopy A Colonoscopy is typically an outpatient procedure that allows your physician to examine the inside of the colon (large intestine or large bowel) and rectum. Your gastroenterologist may perform the procedure to diagnose and treat, when possible, certain diseases of the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the rectum and colon.

  3. EGD - Upper Endoscopy E.G.D. (ESOPHAGO GASTRO DUODENOSCOPY) allows your physician to view the inside of your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine). A flexible rubber-like coated tube called an endoscope passed through the mouth, will provide direct visualization of these areas. The actual process lasts only 10-20 minutes.

  4. Flexible Sigmoidoscopy - Flex Sig A flexible sigmoidoscopy allows your physician to view the inside of the rectum and sigmoid, the first part of the colon. The American Cancer Society recommends that everyone over the age of 50 should have this procedure as part of their physical examination.

  5. ERCP & all associated procedures ERCP is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of many disorders of the pancreas, bile ducts, liver, and gallbladder. ERCP is a highly sophisticated technique, requiring special endoscopic training, and can be accomplished successfully in a high percentage of patients. For the procedure, a flexible rubber-like tube called an endoscope is passed through the mouth, esophagus (food tube), stomach, and into the duodenum (the first point of the small intestine).

  6. Liver Biopsy (Ultrasound guided) A liver biopsy is a procedure whereby a small piece of liver tissue is obtained to exam under a microscope. Biopsies are done for several reasons. Most commonly a biopsy is taken for the evaluation of certain liver diseases to determine the severity of inflammation and scarring in the liver.

  7. EUS with FNA EUS allows your doctor to examine your stomach lining and the walls of your upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. The upper tract is the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum; the lower tract includes your colon and rectum. EUS is also used to study internal organs that lie next to the gastrointestinal tract, such as the gallbladder and pancreas.

  8. Hemorrhoid Banding Hemorrhoids are common, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them. Learn more about hemorrhoid symptoms here. If you’re asking, “What are hemorrhoids?” you’ve come to the right place. Hemorrhoids (often misspelled as “hemoids”) are cushions of swollen tissue and blood vessels in the lower rectal area. It classifies hemorrhoids as either “internal” or “external.” External hemorrhoids can cause itching, swelling, and pain, whereas internal hemorrhoids can cause bleeding, itching, swelling, and eventually prolapse (loose tissue that bulges outside of the anus).

  9. Capsule Endoscopy The estimated annual incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding in the United States is approximately 100 episodes per 100,000 persons resulting in 300,000 hospitalizations annually. Diagnostic tools such as radiologic studies and endoscopic examination often cannot identify a source of bleeding, resulting in a cycle of repetitive testing over months or even years.

  10. PH Monitoring - BRAVO Study The Bravo™ pH Monitoring System is a catheter-free way to measure pH. The Bravo system involves a pH capsule, about the size of a gel cap that is temporarily attached to the wall of the esophagus. The Bravo™ pH Capsule measures pH levels in the esophagus and transmits readings via radio telemetry to the Bravo™ Receiver worn on the patient's belt or waistband.

  11. Breath Testing Hydrogen breath test: Do not eat slowly digested foods such as beans, bran, or other high- fiber cereals the day before the testing. Nothing to eat or drink for 12 hours, you may have small sips of water the morning before your test. Do not smoke, sleep, or exercise vigorously for at least 1/2 hour before, or during the test. For more info visit us: click here.
