Services
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy services detect and prevent colorectal cancer through comprehensive intestinal tract examination. Our physicians use advanced imaging technology to identify polyps, tumors, and inflammatory conditions. Patients receive detailed preparation instructions and post-procedure care guidance.
Endoscopy
Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy procedures examine upper gastrointestinal tract disorders. We treat conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum using minimally invasive techniques. Our team provides specialized Bravo pH testing for acid reflux management.
Liver Clinic
Specialized liver disease management addresses hepatitis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver conditions. Our hepatologists offer comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans. The clinic provides ongoing monitoring for chronic liver disease patients.
Capsule Endoscopy
Non-invasive capsule endoscopy uses wireless camera technology to visualize the small intestine. This procedure diagnoses obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and small bowel disorders. Patients swallow a vitamin-sized capsule that transmits images during natural digestion.
ERCP Procedures
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) diagnoses and treats pancreatic and bile duct disorders. Our specialists perform therapeutic interventions for gallstones, strictures, and tumors. The procedure combines endoscopy with real-time X-ray imaging.

Report
Staff was great. I felt comfortable and well taken care of. Dr. Sarges took the time to address my concerns, and consider different options for treatment/maintenance of my condition. Glad to have him for my doctor!

Report
Excellent care by doctors and nurses. My appointment was 4pm on a Thursday so I was concerned about how energetic the hard-working staff would be at the time of day at the end of the week. I was very impressed with the all of the staff - except the grouchy receptionist - the rest of the group were high energy, patient, detailed, friendly, and professional. Delightful group.

I was super nervous going in for this, but these people were awesome and very professional. Made everything much easier than I expected it to be. The doctor was great and everyone on staff I dealt with was helpful and very nice.

Dr Sarges is gentle and caring. I didn't even need anesthesia for my colonoscopy. He communicates well and made me so comfortable I felt no fear at all during the entire procedure. It's really nice when you find yourself in expert hands. Thank you Dr. Sarges for being the kind of doctor we used to have. Now, after the pandemic, it's rare to find smart professional caregivers who actually spend the time necessary.to inform AND set the patient at ease. Dr. Sarges puts YOU first-not his business.
