Services
The most trusted Ambulatory Surgical Center specializing in endoscopic procedures in Chula Vista
SERVICES
Our center performs a select range of procedures specific to the digestive tract and liver. We strive to provide first-class services in a safe, welcoming environment; one in which we would be happy to treat our own families. Since our center focuses on a limited number of specialized procedures, most patients find that we are much easier to navigate than a typical hospital environment.
This website is designed to familiarize you with our facility, answer any potential questions, and provide you with necessary information concerning what to expect before and after your procedure.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a visual examination of the entire large intestine (colon) using a lighted, flexible colonoscope. To be certain you are comfortable and relaxed, you will be sedated through an I.V. In fact, most patients are asleep during the entire process and remember little to nothing about it.
EGD
Also called an EGD or esophagogastroduodenoscopy.A thin scope with a light and camera at its tip, called an endoscope, is used to look inside the upper digestive system of the esophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine.
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
A sigmoidoscopy is an internal exam of the lower part of the large colon using a short, thin, flexible lighted tube ("scope"). It is inserted into the rectum and slowly guided into the colon.
