New Advanced Endoscopy Services Available at LVH–Pocono

Eastern Pennsylvania Gastroenterology and Liver Specialists (EPGI) physicians are now providing advanced gastrointestinal endoscopy services at Lehigh Valley Hospital–Pocono. The new service provides more convenience for residents of Monroe County and beyond.

It’s all part of part of Lehigh Valley Health Network’s investment in your good health.

EPGI’s four doctors are board-certified, specialty trained, advanced endoscopists who do considerable work in the following areas:

• Diagnosing and staging gastrointestinal malignancies
• Endoscopically evaluating abnormal radiographic imaging, including pancreas cysts and atypical lesions
• Screening high-risk patients for pancreatic cancer via endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
• Performing interventional biliary and pancreatic procedures (ERCP), and utilizing advanced resection techniques for gastrointestinal lesions, such as large colon polyps, also known as endoscopic mucosal resection, or EMR.  

You are generally referred for advanced endoscopy by primary care, medical and surgical oncologists, radiologists and other gastrointestinal providers. EPGI’s advanced endoscopists regularly communicate with referring physicians to assist in patient care.

For an appointment, call 570-664-8115.

EPGI and Lehigh Valley Health Network understand the need for an advanced endoscopic procedure can be stressful for you and we provide exceptional therapeutic endoscopy services with a compassionate bedside manner.

EPGI currently also provides advanced endoscopy services at Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest and Lehigh Valley Hospital–Muhlenberg in the Lehigh Valley.
