EGD (Gastroscopy)

Evaluate the upper digestive system using an EGD, which uses a flexible camera to capture high‑quality images of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. This procedure helps identify the cause of symptoms like heartburn, nausea, or difficulty swallowing. It may also allow certain issues to be treated during the same visit.
