Upper endoscopy with Dr. Batash. Answers, personally.
Heartburn, reflux, trouble swallowing or upper abdominal pain? Find the cause — with Dr. Batash himself, from consultation to results.
An upper endoscopy (EGD) lets Dr. Batash look directly at your esophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine — and take small tissue samples when needed — so your treatment is based on what is really there.
Is it time to get checked?
Why you might need an upper endoscopy.
Instead of trying medication after medication, an upper endoscopy shows Dr. Batash exactly what is causing your symptoms — so your plan is built on a clear diagnosis.
Frequent heartburn or reflux
Heartburn more than twice a week, or reflux that medicine isn’t controlling.
Trouble swallowing
Food that feels stuck, or pain when you swallow.
Upper abdominal pain
Ongoing pain or burning in the upper belly, or a known or suspected ulcer.
Persistent nausea or vomiting
Symptoms that keep coming back without a clear cause.
Unexplained weight loss
Losing weight without trying.
Signs of bleeding or anemia
Black stools, or low iron or anemia found on blood work.
Suspected celiac disease
Confirming a diagnosis when blood tests point to it.
Long-term reflux follow-up
Monitoring the esophagus after years of reflux, as Dr. Batash advises.
Vomiting blood, or black, tarry stools? Don’t wait for an appointment — call us right away or seek emergency care.
What to expect
Dr. Batash, at every step
No triage nurse, no physician assistant. You see Dr. Batash at every visit, from consultation to procedure to results.
01
Consultation
Dr. Batash reviews your history, symptoms and risk, and decides with you whether an endoscopy is the right next step.
02
Preparation
You receive clear instructions on eating, drinking and medications before your procedure, and our team is a phone call away with questions.
03
Procedure
Performed by Dr. Batash with sedation, in our accredited office-based center — not a busy hospital unit.
04
Results
Dr. Batash explains your results in plain language, with a clear plan for follow-up.
Once and done
Endoscopy and colonoscopy. One visit. One prep.
Most doctors schedule endoscopy and colonoscopy separately. When you need both, Dr. Batash performs them in a single visit, so you prepare once, not twice.
