Upper Endoscopy (EGD) – Comprehensive Diagnostic & Therapeutic Care

Upper Endoscopy, or EGD, is a minimally invasive procedure that examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. It helps identify the causes of symptoms like acid reflux, abdominal pain, nausea, or difficulty swallowing.
 
 

At Digestive & Liver Disease Consultants, P.A. (DLDC), EGD is performed under sedation for comfort and safety. The procedure allows for tissue biopsy, polyp removal, or bleeding control in a single session. It is outpatient, typically takes under 30 minutes, and requires minimal recovery time.

DLDC offers EGD at our Houston, The Woodlands, and Humble clinics. Our expert gastroenterologists provide state-of-the-art care, fast access, and personalized follow-up to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
