At MCOUH we have a team of trained doctors that can give you a better grasp of your core health by using an endoscopic procedure – a painless and precise method.

Endoscopy is a process that helps our doctors better view the body’s passageways, including, but not limited to, the throat, stomach and colon. By using a tool known as an endoscope, the doctor can look at exact areas to better assess and detect problems.

We use the latest diagnostic and treatment options for all types of gastrointestinal diseases. We have widely respected and trained doctors,  advanced technology.

Diagonistic & Treatment options

Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is a exam that uses a colonscope to view the colon or entire large intestine. This procedure is often used to look for polyps or cancer, and often takes about 30 minutes to perform.

Flexible sigmoidoscopy
Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a routine outpatient procedure in which the inner lining of the lower large intestine is examined. This procedure is commonly used to evaluate gastrointestinal symptoms, such as abdominal pain, rectal bleeding or changes in bowel habit.
Endoscopic ultrasound
Endoscopic ultrasound combines endoscopy and ultrasound to obtain information about the digestive track.
Upper Gastrointestinal (GI)

This procedure examines the esophagus, stomach and upper intestine.

Motility Tests

A motility tests assess the motor function of the upper esophageal sphincter, esophageal body and lower esophageal sphincter.

24-hour Esophageal pH Testing

An esophageal pH test measures and records the pH in your esophagus to determine if you have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The test can also be done to determine the effectiveness of medications or surgical treatment of this condition.
