Our Services
Our highly trained experts provide treatment to all of our adult and senior patients who visit us here at CHPG Gastroenterology Avista. You can depend on them to treat many conditions affecting the GI tract, including the stomach, intestines, liver, esophagus, and pancreas.
For many patients, their discomfort can be attributed to routine concerns that are easily treated. However, it is important to understand what is really happening with your health. To properly understand the underlying conditions, additional diagnostic testing may be necessary. Routine screenings help to catch diseases and disorders early, creating better outcomes for our patients, as well as reducing unnecessary treatments. Once the symptoms have been identified, it is easier to select the screening technology that will be least invasive and most effective in determining a specific condition and tailored treatment plan.
Our experts can recommend an individually tailored treatment plan for digestive and gastrointestinal issues.
Cancer Screening
Because early detection of colon cancer can save lives, our physicians perform a variety of screenings including colonoscopies, which can identify and remove polyps before they become cancerous.
- EGD - diagnostic and therapeutic
- Halo/Radiofrequency ablation for Barrett's EMR/endoscopic mucosal resection
- Colonoscopy - diagnostic and therapeutic
- ERCP/endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with therapeutic interventions
