The services below are listed on our Services page. Ask our team which physician fits your procedure.
Colonoscopy and Screening Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy lets a doctor look inside the rectum and colon with a thin, flexible tube with a camera. It is used to look for the cause of symptoms like bleeding or bowel changes, and to screen for polyps and colorectal cancer in people without symptoms.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends colorectal cancer screening for adults ages 45 to 75. Talk with your doctor about when to start and which test is right for you.

Upper Endoscopy (EGD)
Upper GI endoscopy examines the esophagus, stomach and upper small intestine. Doctors use it to look for the cause of ongoing heartburn, pain, vomiting or trouble swallowing. Upper endoscopy is performed at South Jersey Endoscopy in Woodbury.
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
A shorter exam of the rectum and lower colon, often used to check symptoms such as rectal bleeding or changes in bowel habits.
GERD and Barrett's Esophagus
Heartburn and regurgitation that keep coming back may be gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Barrett's esophagus is a change in the lining of the esophagus that doctors most often diagnose with an upper endoscopy and a biopsy.
