What is Gastro & Endoscopy?
Gastroenterology deals with the food pipe, stomach, intestines, liver, gall bladder and pancreas. We commonly treat acidity and reflux, ulcers, gastritis, fatty liver, hepatitis, bleeding, difficulty swallowing, IBS, bowel changes and pancreatic problems.
Endoscopy lets our doctors look inside the digestive system using a thin flexible camera. Most endoscopies take 10 to 30 minutes under light sedation and you go home the same day.
