Upper Endoscopy

An Upper Endoscopy or EGD is an abbreviation for Esophagogastroduodenoscopy. It is also commonly referred to as an upper GIEndoscopy. GI is an abbreviation for gastrointestinal.

What is EGD?

An EGD is an examination of your esophagus, stomach and dueodenum using a tiny camera inserted down the throat. Because you’ll be sedated, you’re unlikely to remember your procedure.

Why might I need an EGD?

This test is useful to help determine the cause of symptoms such as heartburn, certain types of pain, vomiting, difficulty swallowing and others.

Will my insurance cover this procedure?

We accept many forms of insurance and also offer a cash-pay option for patients who don’t have insurance or would prefer to pay for their procedure directly. For more information on cash/self-pay pricing, please contact our office.

As a reminder, if choosing cash/self-pay, payment is due at time of the procedure. For your convenience, we accept cash, check, VISA and Mastercard.
