Endoscopy Center

The Endoscopy Center is licensed by the State of Hawaii, certified by Medicare, and owned and operated by the physicians of Gastroenterology Associates, Inc. Our facility is equipped with the latest endoscopic equipment, and our staff is specifically trained in endoscopic procedures.

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy will help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis of the intestinal problem and create a personalized treatment plan for your specific case. Colonoscopies are recommended every 10 years for patients over 50 years of age or if you are experiencing persistent abdominal pain, chronic constipation or diarrhea, or rectal bleeding.

Capsule Endoscopy

A capsule endoscopy is a procedure that uses a tiny wireless camera to take thousands of pictures of the small intestines to help detect any problems. It is designed like a vitamin-sized capsule with a tiny camera inside. Once the recorder is returned to the office, your doctor will view the images and make a proper diagnosis. We will contact you when we have the final results.
