More Than A Gut Feeling: How Dr. Scott Becker Helps Manage and Treat IBD Inflammation is an elusive disease – especially when it comes to diagnosing disorders related to it. Conditions linked to the GI tract can be perplexing, leaving both specialists and patients with many unanswered questions.

When Would I Need an Endoscopy?

February 16, 2018 By Stephanie Meadows

When Would I Need an Endoscopy?

There are many reasons your doctor may recommend an endoscopy.   An endoscopy is a procedure conducted by gastroenterologists – doctors specializing in diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract – to evaluate your digestive system and any suspected issues like infection, tissue damage or cancer.   Two types are commonly performed: an upper endoscopy (esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD) or lower GI endoscopy. As their names imply, the first explores the upper section of the d ... [Read More]
