When should I book an appointment for an endoscopy?

Endoscopy procedures are primarily for adults who suffer from chronic digestive issues, such as severe heartburn, abdominal discomfort, or swallowing difficulties. Individuals with a family history of digestive cancers, as well as those 45 or older, are encouraged to get screened and should consider booking an appointment.

What does the process of an endoscopy involve?

Endoscopy involves a thin flexible tube with a camera to and is usually done under light sedation. This allows the physician to identify issues and biopsy if necessary. The entire process should take around 15-45 minutes.

What instructions should I follow before an endoscopy?

Most procedures require you to fast for 8-12 hours in addition to stopping certain prescribed medications. Because we use sedation, it's also necessary to arrange a ride home. Detailed instructions will be provided before the scheduled procedure.
