Ask a Question

Your initial consultation involves a detailed review of your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle. Dr. Balakrishna will conduct a thorough medical evaluation and discuss potential diagnostic pathways or personalized treatment plans.

Diagnostic endoscopies are typically performed under conscious sedation, which ensures you remain comfortable, relaxed, and free of pain during the short duration of the procedure.

Preparation involves a liquid diet and taking a prescribed bowel prep solution the day before to clean out the colon, which ensures maximum visibility and safety during the examination.

You should consult a gastroenterologist if you experience chronic acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, persistent abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or yellowing of the skin/eyes (jaundice).
