TELEMEDICINE UPDATE
We are excited to inform you that Comprehensive GI Care will be transitioning to using the Doximity link for virtual/telemedicine appointments, replacing the previously used eClinicalWorks (eCW) link. If you have received a eCW link already, please be aware that it may not work. Instead, you will receive the new Doximity link by text when your provider is ready. Please rest assured that your appointment date and time will remain unchanged.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to call us at 562-596-5552.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Best regards,
Comprehensive GI Care Team

A procedure in which your doctor uses specialized instruments to view and operate on the internal organs and vessels of your body. It allows surgeons to see problems within your body without making large incisions.
A surgeon inserts an endoscope through an opening in the body such as the mouth. An endoscope is a flexible tube with an attached camera that allows your doctor to see. Your doctor can use forceps and scissors on the endoscope to operate or remove tissue for biopsy.
A colonoscopy is an exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine (colon) and rectum. During a colonoscopy, a long, flexible tube (colonoscope) is inserted into the rectum. A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the entire colon. If necessary, polyps or other types of abnormal tissue can be removed through the scope during a colonoscopy. Tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken during a colonoscopy as well.
Esophageal Manometry
Esophageal testing or manometry measures the pressures and the pattern of muscle contractions in your esophagus. Abnormalities in the contractions and strength of the muscle or in the sphincter at the lower end of the esophagus can result in pain, heartburn, and/or difficulty swallowing. Esophageal manometry is used to diagnose the conditions that can cause these symptoms.
