HOW WE CAN HELP YOU

Services & Procedures

Colonoscopy

An endoscopic examination of the large bowel and the distal part of the small bowel with a CCD camera or a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube passed through the anus. It can provide a visual diagnosis and grants the opportunity for biopsy or removal of suspected colorectal cancer lesions.

Endoscopy

Allows the physician to see the upper GI tract including the esophagus, stomach and the duodenum using an endoscope. It evaluates difficulty swallowing, upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, can detect inflammation, ulcers, or tumors in the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum.

Endoscopic Ultrasound

An endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a test performed that allows your doctor to examine the lining and the walls of your upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, or to study closeby internal organs such as the gallbladder and pancreas.

Hemorrhoid Banding

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum that may cause discomfort. There are two types: external or internal. External hemorrhoids tend to be painful, whereas internal hemorrhoids tend to cause symptoms such as: itching, bleeding, swelling, prolapse, and/or leakage.

Biologic Infusion Treatment

GAP offers Biologic Infusion Therapy for patients who qualify that have been diagnosed with a form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease such as Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis. This medication is administered to you through an intravenous (IV) needle in one of the veins in your arm.

I live in Hickory and was going to gastroenterologist associates of Hickory. Horrible experience to say the least. I would show up at appointment and then they would send me a no-show and try to charge me for it. Then I was referred to gastroenterology Associates of the Piedmont of Winston Salem. Probably the best Doctor visit that I’ve had in my life. The staff was very professional they were very efficient . Dr. Brian Smith was very professional and very personable. Took the time to listen and talk about my condition very thorough. I was in and out of his office within an hour. Definitely deserves more than a five star rating.
