Virginia Physicians Gastroenterology Division
offers the highest quality diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving
the digestive tract and liver.
Our Gastroenterologists utilize state of the art diagnostic
and monitoring equipment. Our staff consists of an experienced, professional
nursing staff, and endoscopy nurses that provide outstanding care and
comfort.
We offer our patients an efficient, high-quality alternative
to hospital out-patient diagnostic setting of GI services.
We are proud to offer our patients
Capsule Endoscopy within our office. Capsule Endoscopy enables our physicians
to examine the three portions of your small intestine. We use a vitamin-pill
sized video capsule as an endoscope, which has its own camera and light
source. While the video capsule travels through the body, images are sent
to a data recorder. Afterwards, our physicians will view the images on
a video monitor. The FDA has recently approved the use of a capsule for
esophageal use.
