Mountain View Hospital provides full endoscopy services for patients concerned with the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, rectum, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver. We regularly perform colonoscopies to screen for colon cancer and/or remove polyps and perform upper endoscopies to provide treatment for ulcers, stomach issues, and heartburn. We provide inpatient and outpatient services in addition to all endoscopic, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures. And we are always updating our knowledge and equipment to provide you with the latest technology and procedures to relieve pain and save lives.
