Services
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy allows comprehensive examination of the colon for polyps, cancer, and inflammatory conditions. Our physicians perform this procedure using sedation for patient comfort. Preparation instructions are provided in advance to ensure clear visualization.
Endoscopic Ultrasound
Endoscopic ultrasound combines endoscopy and ultrasound imaging to evaluate digestive tract abnormalities. This technique enables detailed visualization of gastrointestinal walls and surrounding structures. Our specialists use fine needle aspiration when biopsies are required.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation treats Barrett's esophagus by removing abnormal tissue. The HALO360 system delivers controlled thermal energy to eliminate precancerous cells. This outpatient procedure requires careful post-treatment monitoring.
Capsule Endoscopy
Capsule endoscopy uses a swallowable camera to examine the small intestine. This non-invasive method detects sources of bleeding and inflammatory bowel disease. Patients receive specific dietary instructions before the 8-hour procedure.
ERCP
ERCP combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose bile duct and pancreatic disorders. Our team performs therapeutic interventions like stone removal and stent placement. Patients receive sedation and require post-procedure observation.

Report
Used to be better before UCSF took over. The doctor didn't even come by to discuss the results after my procedure. Instead, I was told to schedule an appointment to go over the results if I'd like. The office staff is not friendly and not helpful. They did not send the results of my colonoscopy to my PCP as I requested. The billing department kept billing my colonoscopy as diagnostic and wouldn't change the code. Can not get a hold of a live person to sort out billing with insurance. She doesn't answer the phone and only responds to VM. I would not recommend this office.

Report
Very unprofessional place. The building looked old and lacking maintenance. I drove 30mins for my appointment only to learn that my doctor was in a meeting and I had to reschedule for another appointment. Seems the doctor was not even clear with his own schedule. Little respect to their patient.

Report
It took me many weeks just to get my consultation set up and that was only after my primary care doctor called on my behalf. 2 stars because I liked Dr. Wang in the consult but then after that, I have called at least a dozen times to try to schedule my procedure and I never hear back. you can't reach a human being at this office. I already paid for the prescription for the prep and now I am just sitting on it waiting to hear back from this office. Worst customer service I have ever experienced in a medical practice. I can't recommend.
