At Suburban Gastroenterology, our physicians are committed to staying at the forefront of gastroenterology through continuous training and adoption of the most advanced techniques. Our advanced endoscopic techniques enable precise diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of complex digestive conditions using minimally invasive approaches.
These procedures are performed by our highly trained Interventional Gastroenterologists, and are most often conducted at Edward Hospital, where patients receive care in a state-of-the-art setting with specialized support teams.
Advanced endoscopy provides significant advantages, including faster recovery, reduced hospital stays, and improved outcomes for conditions that once required surgery.
Please call our office if you have any questions at 630-527-6450.
These advanced procedures allow our team to treat complex conditions with less discomfort, shorter recovery times, and highly effective results.
Advanced endoscopic procedures are minimally invasive techniques that allow gastroenterologists to diagnose and treat complex conditions of the digestive system without the need for traditional surgery.
Our advanced procedures are performed by Dr. Pandolfi and Dr. Dholakia, both of whom have specialized training and expertise in interventional endoscopy.
These procedures can address conditions such as Acid Reflux, Hiatal hernia, precancerous and cancerous lesions of the esophagus, stomach and colon, bile duct blockages, pancreatic disorders, gastroparesis and achalasia.
Most advanced endoscopic procedures are performed at Edward Hospital, ensuring access to comprehensive hospital-based resources alongside the expertise of our GI specialists.
While standard endoscopy includes colonoscopy and upper endoscopy for diagnosis and screening, advanced procedures go further by allowing for therapeutic interventions such as removing growths, opening blockages, or reconstructing valves.
Benefits include fewer incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, and the ability to treat complex conditions without open surgery.
