Endoscopy is a procedure that lets your doctor look inside your body. It uses an instrument called an endoscope, or scope for short. Scopes have a tiny camera attached to a long, thin tube. The doctor moves it through a body passageway or opening to see inside an organ. Sometimes scopes are used for surgery, such as for removing polyps from the colon.

Our surgeons perform both Colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy: large intestine & upper gastrointestinal endoscopy: esophagus and stomach. Use the attached commercial on this page.
