Expert Endoscopy & EGD Services: Serving Katy, Cypress, and Greater Houston

Common Conditions We Diagnose with Endoscopy

Our team uses EGD procedures to accurately diagnose and manage a variety of digestive health conditions, including:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Assessing esophageal damage caused by chronic acid exposure.

• Peptic Ulcer Disease: Identifying sores in the stomach or duodenum.

• Celiac Disease: Confirming diagnosis through tissue biopsies.

• Esophageal Strictures: Diagnosing and treating narrowing of the esophagus.

• Early-Stage Cancer Detection: Identifying suspicious growths for timely intervention.

The Procedure: What to Expect

We prioritize your safety and comfort throughout the entire process.

Preparation: You will be given clear instructions to fast (no eating or drinking) for 6–8 hours prior to the procedure to ensure optimal visibility.

During the Procedure: You will receive gentle sedation to ensure you are comfortable. The procedure typically takes only 15–30 minutes, during which you will breathe comfortably while the endoscope does the work.

Recovery: You will be monitored in our recovery area until the sedative wears off. Because of the sedation, you must have a responsible adult available to drive you home.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is an endoscopy painful? A: No. Patients are sedated and typically report no pain. Some may experience mild bloating or a slight sore throat, which dissipates quickly.

Q: How long is the total visit? A: While the procedure itself is quick, plan for a total of 2 to 3 hours at our clinic to include your check-in, prep, and recovery.

Q: How do I get my results? A: Dr. Khan will discuss his initial findings immediately after your procedure. If a biopsy was performed, pathology results are usually available within a few days.
