Diagnosis

Digestive problems can happen to anyone, at any age. We offer a full range of diagnostic procedures and tests for all types of digestive disorders.

In fact, we offer sophisticated diagnostic technology, like endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which often can only be found at larger medical centers.
