Services

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy services provide comprehensive colorectal cancer screening and diagnosis of intestinal conditions. Our board-certified specialists use advanced imaging technology to detect polyps, inflammation, and other abnormalities. Patients receive personalized preparation instructions and post-procedure care guidance.

Upper Endoscopy

Upper endoscopy procedures examine the upper digestive tract for conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Our team performs diagnostic evaluations and therapeutic interventions using state-of-the-art endoscopic equipment. Patients receive detailed pre-procedure preparation materials and post-exam care instructions.

ERCP

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) diagnoses and treats bile duct and pancreatic disorders. Our specialists perform this complex procedure to address gallstones, strictures, and tumors. The service includes pre-procedure consultations and post-exam monitoring in our accredited facilities.

Capsule Study

Capsule endoscopy uses ingestible camera technology to visualize the small intestine. This non-invasive procedure detects sources of bleeding, Crohn's disease, and other conditions. Patients receive specific fasting instructions and schedule follow-up appointments for result interpretation.

Breath Testing

Breath testing services identify carbohydrate intolerances and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). The non-invasive procedure measures hydrogen and methane levels in exhaled breath following specific dietary challenges. Patients receive detailed preparation guidelines before testing.

Receptionist extremely rude (not even nice when having the discussion) as the office refuses to allow any family to accompany a patient in for an appointment. Extremely poor customer service. When spouse had endoscopy 2 weeks ago (today was the follow up to find out results and plan), he required a driver and I was instructed to wait in the waiting room on the 6th floor. This may have well been a closet. There was not enough chairs for the other "support people." Zero consideration given. Very disappointed and I work in healthcare.

I have struggled with GI issues my entire life. Dr. Iorio and Brittany Maloney have done an amazing job not only providing care but getting to my stomach as normal as possible and letting me life a normal life as possible with my auto immune disease issues. The staff is wonderful and caring the nurses go above and beyond. If my doctor isn't available one of the other providers will gladly step in to help and care about my gi needs.

I have only been here twice and have made more progress then with any gi doctor since I was 6 years old. My doctor has not run any unnecessary tests like every gi has done in the past. I am so glad I came here I will never go anywhere else for my gi care.

As all doctors offices have been overwhelmed lately I don't mind waiting for an appointment. The staff is very nice and accommodating to my schedule and listens to all my questions and address them.

This review is related to the experience of the person accompanying the patient on the day of the procedure. I find it disrespectful that this practice feels like it is appropriate to relocate the loved one to an unfinished floor of the building on the sixth floor.to a tiny room(holding cell) where we are forced to listen to construction workers banging on walls and yelling obsentities. You can't provide any better alternative.

Absolute worst experience ever. I had seen them a while ago, and was recently referred back after a stint in the ER. They didn't have an appointment for months, so I asked what they recommend I do given the state I was in after having life threatening gastro issues. The woman on the phone was HORRID! Absolutely no compassion. So rude she left me in tears. I didn't schedule anything because the time was so far out and this was such a bad experience.

Next thing you know I get a letter in the mail saying they will no longer treat me! Save yourself some time and go somewhere else. This is a joke of a medical facility. Absolutely disgusting practice.

I received one phone call on my personal cell phone on Friday and voicemail was left four hours before business closed. No phone call was made to my job, which is on file with them. My appointment, which I waited months for, was promptly canceled on Monday at noon, barely (8) hours after I received one and only phone call. The "office manager " who refused to give her name was very rude and said she would Not have Dr. Ickball reschedule me when I mentioned their "24 hour cancellation policy " and hung up on me. This was very unprofessional and lacked proper ethical business standards.
