What is an upper endoscopy (EGD)?

An EGD is a simple, effective procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to view the upper digestive tract.

It helps diagnose symptoms like:

• Trouble swallowing
• Persistent heartburn
• Nausea or upper belly pain
• Unexplained weight loss

It can detect issues like acid reflux, ulcers, inflammation, or even early signs of cancer, often before symptoms worsen.

Learn more or ask if an EGD might be right for you.
