At Plano Medical Center, our gastroenterology division provides advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for patients across the Greater Toronto Area. Our experienced specialists are dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders affecting the gastrointestinal tract.
From routine screenings to complex GI evaluations, we offer personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. Our state-of-the-art facility ensures you receive the highest quality care in a comfortable, patient-centred environment.
We offer two core gastroenterology procedures performed by board-certified specialists using the latest equipment.
Upper endoscopy, also known as esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), allows our gastroenterologists to visually examine the upper portion of your digestive tract — the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum — using a thin, flexible scope equipped with a camera.
This procedure is used to investigate symptoms such as persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, abdominal pain, nausea, and unexplained weight loss. It can also detect conditions like ulcers, inflammation, celiac disease, and early-stage cancers.
Colonoscopy is the gold standard for examining the entire large intestine (colon) and rectum. Using a long, flexible scope with a high-definition camera, our specialists can detect polyps, inflammation, and early signs of colorectal cancer.
The Canadian Cancer Society recommends regular screening colonoscopies for adults aged 50 and older. If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or related conditions, earlier screening may be advised.
