Screening Saves Lives
Expert diagnostic procedures to detect cancer early and diagnose digestive issues accurately. We prioritize your comfort and safety.
Prevention is the Best Medicine
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., but it is highly preventable. Screening allows us to find "polyps" (small growths) and remove them before they turn into cancer.
We provide comprehensive endoscopic services, including Colonoscopy (for the lower digestive tract) and Upper Endoscopy or EGD (for the esophagus and stomach).
Protecting Your Colon Health
Who needs it
Everyone starting at age 45 (or earlier if you have a family history).
The Procedure
While you are sedated and comfortable, a flexible camera examines the colon. If we find polyps, we remove them immediately during the same exam.
Preparation
A clean colon is essential for a safe exam. We use modern "split-dose" bowel preps that are more effective and easier to tolerate than older methods.
Diagnosing Upper GI Issues
If you suffer from chronic heartburn, difficulty swallowing, or stomach pain, an EGD (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy) allows us to see the problem directly.
Conditions Diagnosed:
- Acid reflux damage (Barrett's Esophagus)
- Ulcers
- H. pylori infection
- Hiatal hernias
Therapeutic:
We can dilate (stretch) a narrowed esophagus or treat bleeding ulcers during the procedure.
Quality & Safety
Dr. Abidali and Dr. Qureshi are highly trained in advanced endoscopic techniques. We focus on high "Adenoma Detection Rates" (a quality metric for finding pre-cancerous polyps) to ensure you get the most protective exam possible.
