Fast, Local Access to Screening Procedures in Gilbert, AZ
At Arizona Premier Surgery, we understand that preventive care is the cornerstone of maintaining optimal digestive health. We’re proud to announce that Dr. Abdullah Jawad is now performing comprehensive EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) and colonoscopy screenings at Ocotillo Surgery Center in Gilbert, providing faster scheduling and convenient access for patients throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Why Screening Matters
Early detection saves lives. Both EGD and colonoscopy screenings are essential tools in identifying potential problems before they become serious health concerns. These minimally invasive procedures allow Dr. Jawad to visualize your digestive tract, detect abnormalities, and in many cases, address issues during the same procedure.
EGD screenings examine the upper digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. This procedure is crucial for diagnosing conditions such as:
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Stomach ulcers
- Unexplained abdominal pain
- Difficulty swallowing
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
Colonoscopy screenings focus on the lower digestive tract, examining the colon and rectum for signs of colorectal cancer, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, and other conditions. Regular colonoscopy screenings are recommended starting at age 45 for most adults, or earlier if you have risk factors or a family history of colorectal cancer.
