Why You May Need an In-Office Procedure

Using specialized tools, we can identify the presence and severity of acid reflux, a common condition where stomach acid irritates the lining of the esophagus. By pinpointing this issue, we can recommend personalized treatment strategies to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications like GERD.

Through esophageal manometry, we evaluate how well the muscles in your esophagus are working. This test is crucial for diagnosing swallowing disorders and conditions like achalasia, helping us develop targeted therapies to improve your quality of life.

Noninvasive tests can uncover issues in the small intestine, such as inflammation caused by conditions like celiac disease or Crohn’s disease. By recognizing these concerns early, we can create a treatment plan to restore balance to your digestive system.

Through tools like FibroScan® technology, we can assess the degree of scarring or stiffness in your liver. This painless, ultrasound-based test assists in screening and management of conditions like fatty liver disease or hepatitis.

Breath tests help identify intolerances to specific sugars, such as lactose, glucose, and fructose. These simple and effective tests enable us to address intolerances that may be causing bloating, pain, or other digestive discomforts.

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can lead to a variety of symptoms, including bloating and diarrhea. Breath tests are used to diagnose this condition, so that appropriate treatments can restore gut health and improve digestion.

A noninvasive breath test can detect Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium strongly linked to the development of stomach ulcers and even gastric cancer. Early detection allows for effective treatment, reducing your risk of complications.
