A vital part of maintaining digestive health is Galen’s state
Endoscopy Lab, a state of the art, full-service and accredited
endoscopy suite located in the Galen Medical Group HealthPark at 1651
Gunbarrel Road. The staff of the Endoscopy Lab works with your
Galen gastroenterologists to provide vital services such as:
Colonoscopy -- visual examination using a lighted,
flexible tube that allows your doctor to view the large intestine
(colon) and see inflammation, polyps, cancer and other conditions.
Endoscopy -- visual examination of the esophagus, stomach
and duodenum, using a lighted flexible tube. This procedure helps the
doctors find the causes of swallowing difficulties, vomiting, bleeding,
reflux, abdominal pain and chest pain.
Sigmoidoscopy is a shorter version of a colonoscopy to view the lower end of the large intestine.
Remicade® Infusion Therapy, for the treatment of Crohn’s
Disease, ulcerative colitis and other diseases, including rheumatoid
arthritis. Remicade is a powerful medication that is administered
intravenously under professional supervision.
PillCam®, a miniature camera that is swallowed like a
capsule. The camera takes pictures of the digestive system as it
passes through, providing your doctor with vital information for
diagnosis and treatment.
