Endoscopy treatment at The Holly

What is Endoscopy?

An endoscopic procedure is a test that allows the doctor to visually inspect your gastrointestinal tract using a long thin flexible tube with a small camera attached. This is passed into your body through a natural opening such as your mouth or anus.
