Comprehensive Endoscopy Services at SoCal Digestive Wellness

Dr. Sunny Lo at SoCal Digestive Wellness in Arcadia, CA, offers advanced endoscopy services to help diagnose and treat various digestive tract conditions. An endoscopy involves the use of a flexible tube with a camera, known as an endoscope, which is guided down the esophagus into the stomach and upper intestinal tract. This allows physicians to inspect the lining of the digestive system visually.

Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (EGD)

EGD is a fundamental procedure in gastroenterology. It provides direct visualization of the upper digestive tract, helping diagnose and treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and gastritis.

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening and diagnosis. It allows Dr. Sunny Lo to examine the entire large intestine and detect colorectal cancer, polyps, and inflammatory bowel diseases. In addition to diagnosis, precancerous polyps can be removed during the same procedure to prevent cancer development.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

ERCP is a specialized endoscopic procedure that investigates and treats issues affecting the pancreas and bile ducts. This includes diagnosing and addressing gallstones, pancreatitis, and bile duct strictures. The procedure involves injecting contrast dye into the bile ducts for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Capsule Endoscopy

During a capsule endoscopy, the patient swallows a small capsule containing a camera that captures images as it moves through the digestive tract. This procedure is especially effective for detecting obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease, and small intestine tumors.
