What is a Gastroscopy?

A gastroscopy (upper endoscopy) is a minimally invasive procedure that allows Dr. Sacha Sidani to examine the lining of your upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Using a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope), this procedure helps diagnose conditions like ulcers, gastritis, and Barrett’s esophagus.
