Endoscopy Center
Endoscopy is a means of looking inside the body using a long, flexible tube with a camera for any signs of disease or abnormality. The tube is inserted into the body, and the camera transmits images to a monitor for evaluation. The tip of the endoscopy tube can also be outfitted with medical tools to take tissue samples, stop bleeding and perform other medical procedures.
Our Endoscopy Center specializes in the examination of the digestive tract and lungs. Our team of experienced healthcare professionals provides highly individualized care using modern, high-tech specialty skills and certification.
