Upper GI Endoscopy

We recommend an upper GI endoscopy to evaluate symptoms such as persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, upper abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss. It is essential for diagnosing conditions like peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammation (gastritis), and identifying esophageal or gastric tumors. In addition to diagnosis, the procedure allows us to perform minor therapeutic interventions, such as stopping bleeding, dilating narrowed areas, or removing polyps.

The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis. Before starting, we ensure patient comfort through mild sedation or local anesthesia of the throat. The actual examination usually takes only a few minutes. Because it is a minimally invasive procedure, most patients can return home the same day. We provide clear pre-procedure instructions, including fasting guidelines, to ensure the best possible visualization of your digestive tract.

Patient safety is our highest priority during any endoscopic procedure. Our facility utilizes high-definition imaging technology to ensure the most accurate visual assessment. In cases where biopsy samples are collected, these are processed through high-standard pathology labs to provide timely and reliable results. Our team is dedicated to making the process as seamless and comfortable as possible, providing thorough explanations before, during, and after your examination.
