Who requires an endoscopy and how can I schedule one?

Patients with chronic digestive issues such as persistent heartburn, abdominal pain, trouble swallowing, or change in bowel movements should consider Endoscopy. Also, screening colonoscopies are suggested for all patients between the ages of 45-50 or younger if there is a family history of colon cancer.

How is the procedure performed, and what should I expect during my endoscopy?

For most endoscopic procedures, patients will be given conscious sedation for comfort. Upper endoscopies take about 15-30 minutes, and colonoscopies take about 30-60 minutes. Detailed preparation instructions will be provided, and patients will be monitored throughout the process.

What other instructions should I follow for preparation ahead of my endoscopy appointment?

Preparation for each procedure is different. For those having colonoscopies, there is a special diet along with a bowel preparation regimen that begins 1-2 days prior. For upper endoscopies, fasting for 8-12 hours prior is standard. We offer detailed tailored preparation instructions.
