A Focused Concern for Patients with Stomach, Digestive and Colon Conditions

The OMHS Gastrointestinal (GI) Unit’s highly skilled physicians and staff practice modern progressive surgical techniques and procedures using state-of-the-art equipment.  Our focus is to return you to the best possible health and function as comfortably and quickly as possible.

GI Labs

The OMHS GI Labs are located in the main hospital for performing outpatient tests and procedures. 

• Colonoscopy

• Bravo or Ph testing for acid reflux

• ECRP—a combination of Endoscopy and X-ray

Endoscopy Procedures

Endoscopy is a diagnostic tool that is excellent for use in the Gastrointestinal tract. It provides your doctor with a visual inspection and photography for better diagnosis. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure with a fast patient recovery time.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a modern and progressive surgical technique.  It’s a less invasive form of surgery that can be used even for complex procedures. The benefits to our patients are smaller scars, less post-operative pain and a faster recovery time to return to your normal activities.

Focused Concern for the Patient

OMHS places great value on patient education. Keeping you informed and answering questions about every step of the process helps relieve any anxiety about your treatment.

The OMHS GI Unit’s care and concern does not end when you leave the hospital. There’s a post-operative follow-up plan when you get home. We’ll follow up on your current condition to ensure:

• Your medication is taken

• Surgical dressing instructions are being followed

• Detection of any possible complications

We then share that information with your doctor to keep him or her updated and informed about your condition.
