Our Specialties
Treatments & Procedures
Advanced diagnostic and therapeutic solutions to address the full range of gastrointestinal conditions.
GI Genius™ AI-Assisted Colonoscopy
We are proud to be among the first hospitals in Southwest Florida to offer GI Genius™, a cutting-edge technology that provides an expert AI second opinion in detecting hard-to-see colorectal polyps during colonoscopies.
Capsule Endoscopy
A pill-sized camera captures thousands of images as it travels through your digestive tract, giving our physicians a detailed look at areas traditional scopes cannot easily reach.
Conditions Diagnosed
Upper Endoscopy (EGD)
Direct visualization of the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine using a flexible camera. Used to diagnose and treat a range of upper GI conditions.
Conditions Treated
