Services
Endoscopy
Endoscopy procedures use advanced imaging technology to examine the digestive tract. Our board-certified specialists perform upper endoscopies, colonoscopies, and specialized interventions in accredited centers. Patients benefit from accurate diagnoses and targeted treatments for gastrointestinal conditions.
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopies remain the gold standard for colorectal cancer detection. Our physicians follow strict screening protocols to identify abnormalities at early, treatable stages. The outpatient procedure combines thorough examination with patient comfort considerations in multiple convenient locations.
Endoscopic Ultrasound
Endoscopic ultrasound combines imaging and endoscopy for detailed gastrointestinal tract visualization. This minimally invasive technique aids in diagnosing abdominal pain causes and staging digestive cancers through high-resolution imaging performed by specialized interventionalists.
Infusion Therapy
Our infusion centers deliver specialized medications directly into the bloodstream for digestive disease management. Certified nurses administer treatments in comfortable settings with monitoring systems ensuring patient safety and treatment efficacy for chronic GI conditions.
ERCP
ERCP procedures examine pancreatic and bile duct systems using combined endoscopic and radiographic techniques. Our interventional gastroenterologists perform diagnostic evaluations and therapeutic interventions for gallbladder, liver, and pancreatic disorders in advanced procedural suites.

Everyone that works there are so friendly and make you very comfortable! Some things I didn't expect was warm socks, gown, and blanket. They truly go out of their way. Will only go to them in the future. Thank you to Dr. Josephson and all his staff.

I had pushed this off for several years. When I came to my first visit with Dr. Rhyne, he put me so much at ease, he was so humble, the staff was excellent, to where I was ready to make that appointment for my procedure. When I came to have my procedure done, the lady at the front desk, was super nice, the lady that took me back super nice, the lady that pushed me back was super nice. Dr Rhyne and the nurse was Also super nice!
This is the best facility I've ever been to, to have a procedure done, and for the entire staff to give you and your family a peace of mind. Thank you all. I would like to recognize all of these people, Evelyn, Carol, Amy, Abby, Annie, and Dr. Michael Ryan.

Well if you can love your GI doctor I can say Dr. Crews is excellent and caring. The staff at the endoscopy center were friendly and caring, making a not so fun procedure go smoothly and made sure i was comfortable and cared for. I would highly recommend this practice and team.
