Endoscopy

​

Dr. Shakoor is an expert in performing diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies. An endoscopy is a non-invasive exam of the digestive tract using a small fiberoptic camera or “endoscope”. Endoscopies are typically performed under IV sedation in an outpatient setting, and last no more than 30 minutes.

The most commonly performed endoscopy is a Colonoscopy. A colonoscopy is the preferred method of colorectal cancer screening and prevention in the United States. Currently, colonoscopy is recommended every 5-10 years in average-risk individuals starting at the age 50 (age 45 in African Americans). Most insurance plans will cover a screening colonoscopy as part of “health maintenance” benefits. Please call your insurance provider for more details.

CDH is affiliated with EEC – Eastside Endoscopy Centre – a free-standing outpatient (ambulatory) endoscopy center, conveniently located at the same address. EEC is Joint Commission accredited and have been endorsed by the ASGE (American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy). EEC now offers “monitored anesthesia care” during patients’ procedures which allows for a quick, safe and painless endoscopic experience.

Other endoscopic procedures performed: EGD/Upper Endoscopy, Colonoscopy, and Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
