Why Choose Gastro Center of Maryland for Your Care?

What distinguishes our endoscopy facility in Silver Spring is our focus on prevention and early detection. We focus on the circumventive medicine paradigm on earlier detection and management of health issues, for example, removing precancerous polyps or diagnosing acid reflux diseases long before they can cause irreversible damage. Our Silver Spring patients are loyal and satisfied with our proactive approach since it seeks to preserve their long term digestive health as opposed to managing issues after they have already surfaced.

Our team combines specialized training with advanced technology to deliver exceptional gastroenterology care:

• Years of specialized training integrated with modern endoscopic procedures
• Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for every patient
• Personalized care that listens to your individual concerns
• Clear, explainable treatment options tailored to your situation
• Strategic Georgia Avenue location serving Takoma Park to Wheaton
• Convenient access without traveling to downtown Washington or Baltimore

We understand that every patient's situation is unique, which is why we take the time to understand your specific needs and provide treatment options that make sense for your lifestyle and health goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who requires an endoscopy screening?

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.

When should I schedule my endoscopy procedure?

An endoscopy should be done if bothersome digestive symptoms are persistent for several weeks. Also, it can be scheduled if screening procedures due by age and risk factors are pending or if there is a prior physician recommendation. Do not put off scheduling if symptom severity increases, especially with a family history of colorectal cancer.

What should I expect during the endoscopy process?

Patients undergoing endoscopy will have a pre-procedure consultation, then they are given preparation instructions including diet and possible bowel preparation, the procedure which is done under light sedation, and finally recovery and meeting to discuss results. The majority of patients resume normal activities within a day.
