• Emergency Care
• Colonoscopy
  A colonoscopy procedure is well-tolerated and rarely causes much discomfort. You might feel pressure, bloating or cramping during the procedure. Typically, your colonoscopy doctor will give you a sedative to help you relax and better tolerate any discomfort. You will lie on your side or back while your doctor slowly advances a colonoscope along your large intestine to examine the lining. Your doctor will examine the lining again as he or she slowly withdraws the colonoscope. The procedure itself usually takes less than 45 minutes, although you should plan on two to three hours for preparation and recovery. In some cases, the doctor cannot pass the colonoscope through the entire colon to where it meets the small intestine. Your doctor will advise you whether any additional testing is necessary.

• Urinary Incontinence
• Diarrhea
  The most important things to remember about bowel incontinence are that it’s not something to be ashamed of – doctors see it all the time – and it’s something that can be treated. Contrary to public myths, bowel incontinence is not likely to get better on its own over time, and it is not just a normal part of the aging process. Affecting nearly 18 million U.S. adults, bowel incontinence is more common than you may think. Women experience this condition more often than men, but it can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. Common bowel incontinence causes include all of the following...

Internists

• Internal Medicine
  Gastroenterology is a medical specialty that focuses on the disorders and diseases of the digestive system. The gastrointestinal tract, also known as the alimentary canal, includes organs from the mouth to the anus. Gastroenterologists are physicians who have completed at least eight years of pre-medical and medical education, three years of internal medicine residency, and two to four years of training in a gastroenterology and hepatology fellowship.
• Gastroenterology
  Centers for Gastroenterology in Northern Colorado is proud to offer professional ERCP services to our patients. ERCP, or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, is a specialized procedure that our team of expert gastroenterologists is highly trained to perform. This minimally invasive procedure is used to both diagnose and treat certain conditions of the bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder.
• Colon Cancer
  Infusion therapy used to be used exclusively in hospitals, but modern medical advancements have made it an outpatient procedure benefitting more individuals. Many utilize infusion therapy to ensure their bodies get enough vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to treat certain nutrient deficiencies, such as those caused by Crohn’s disease or colon cancer. Because infusion therapy allows medications, fluids, or nutrients to bypass the digestive system, it allows the body’s cells to receive these items immediately.
• Endoscopy
  Endoscopies are done at surgery centers including Harmony Surgery Center; freestanding endoscopy centers like Skyline Endoscopy Center and Greeley Endoscopy Center; and hospitals such as PVH, MCR, Greeley Hospital, and McKee Medical Center. We can help you choose a location based on your proximity and availability to make your appointment as easy as possible.

  The severity of bowel incontinence can vary from being unable to control breaking wind to leaking small amounts of feces. Episodes can occur daily, weekly, or monthly. No matter how mild or severe the condition, it can affect a person’s overall quality of life, taking a toll on their self-esteem, as well as their physical, emotional, and mental health. While bowel incontinence symptoms may vary from person to person, these are among the most common...

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Endoscopists are highly trained specialists who welcome your questions regarding their credentials, training and experience. Your endoscopist will use a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope that has a built-in miniature ultrasound probe. Your doctor will pass the endoscope through your mouth or anus to the area to be examined. Your doctor then will use the ultrasound to use sound waves to create visual images of the digestive tract.
• MRI
  Most patients consider the test comfortable. The capsule endoscope is about the size of a large pill. After ingesting the capsule and until it is excreted you should not be near an MRI device or schedule an MRI examination.
• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  Why is ERCP so important? It is often the only way to directly visualize the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. X-rays, ultrasounds, and CT scans can show certain abnormalities in these organs, but they cannot always show what is causing the problem. ERCP allows your doctor to see inside these ducts and determine the cause of the issue.

Dermatologists

• Cyst
• Lesions
  EUS is also used to evaluate known abnormalities, including lumps or lesions, which were detected at a prior endoscopy or were seen on x-ray tests, such as a computed tomography (CT) scan. EUS provides a detailed image of the lump or lesion, which can help your doctor determine its origin and help treatment decisions. EUS can be used to diagnose diseases of the pancreas, bile duct and gallbladder when other tests are inconclusive or conflicting.
