Medical Weight Loss
Although commonly diagnosed by gastroenterologists, celiac disease is a systemic disorder and can result in neurologic symptoms, skin rash, joint problems, and infertility. It is more commonly diagnosed due to the presence of weight loss, diarrhea, anemia, and/or vague abdominal pain.
Primary Care
Yes. When using ultrasound alone for detection, its prevalence approaches 50% of primary care patients. Only a percentage of these go on to have progressive liver disease.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is the visual examination of the lining of the colon. The large colon is about 5-6 feet long. The purpose of the exam is to identify any abnormalities by using a flexible fiberoptic tube. The tube, which is about the thickness of your finger, is slowly passed through the length of the colon to the cecum.
Constipation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common gastrointestinal (GI) issues. While the term is frequently heard, n READ MORE

Internal Medicine
At Wake Endoscopy Center are all board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and specialize in different areas of digestive health.
Gastroenterology
In 2006, the North Carolina Society of Gastroenterology (NCSG) was formed by and for interested gastroenterologists from both academia and private practice in North Carolina to gather and discuss the state of their profession.
Colon Cancer
Colon cancer screening can detect polyps and cancers in the large intestine. There are several types of colon cancer screening tests that may be performed based on a patient’s age, medical history, and present symptoms.
Endoscopy
Gastrointestinal endoscopy also called esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). The purpose of this test is to identify any abnormalities in your esophagus, stomach and/or duodenum by passing a flexible fiberoptic tube through your mouth and down the back of the throat into the esophagus. The results obtained from this test may explain the cause of symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, reflux, or difficulty swallowing.

Ultrasound
Your doctor may recommend endoscopic ultrasound if you have abdominal pain or other symptoms of a GI condition such as cancer, pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, Barrett’s esophagus, bile duct stones, or sarcoidosis.
X-Rays
Mammography
Liver cancer cannot be prevented. Any patient with cirrhosis, regardless of cause, is at increased risk for primary liver cancer. Similar to the role of mammography in the detection of breast cancer, various X-ray technologies can be used to screen for liver cancer. Liver cancer is treatable at an early stage and can often be used to increase an individual’s standing on a waitlist for liver transplantation.

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Some patients with GERD may need surgery to strengthen the LES. This procedure is called fundoplication. This surgery is now usually done by laparoscopy. This is a newer type of minimally invasive surgery, performed with a tiny incision at the naval and a few needle points in the upper abdomen. The patient usually returns home 1-2 days after surgery, with few problems. Surgery, however, should not be considered until all medical treatments have been tried. Surgery is often seriously considered for an otherwise healthy patient when the disease is severe, or the patient wants to avoid the expense or regimen of long-term treatment with medications.

Laparoscopic Surgery
In rare cases, colon polyps may be too large to remove during a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy. These polyps are removed during minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery.
