Barrett's Esophagus
Barrett’s esophagus is a condition in which the normal lining of the esophagus changes after prolonged exposure to stomach acid, most commonly due to chronic acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Bloody Stools / Constipation / Diarrhea
Bloody stools, constipation, and diarrhea are common gastrointestinal symptoms that can range from mild and temporary to signs of a more serious digestive condition.
Colon Cancer / Screening / Colon Polyps
Colon cancer develops in the large intestine and often begins as abnormal growths known as colon polyps.

Â
Crohn's Disease
Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes chronic inflammation within the digestive tract.Â
Â
Diverticulitis
Diverticulitis occurs when small pouches that develop in the wall of the colon, known as diverticula, become inflamed or infected.Â
Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer develops in the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach.Â
Fatty Liver Disease
Fatty liver disease occurs when excess fat builds up within the liver cells, leading to inflammation and impaired liver function over time.
Fecal Incontinence
Fecal incontinence is the loss of normal bowel control, resulting in accidental leakage of stool or difficulty reaching the restroom in time.
Biliary Disease / Gallstones
Biliary disorders are medical conditions affecting the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts that happen when the normal flow of bile is blocked, slowed, or disrupted.
GERD
GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, is a chronic digestive condition in which stomach acid frequently flows backward into the esophagus.
Hemorrhoids / Hemorrhoid Banding
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum or anus that may cause discomfort, itching, irritation, or bleeding.Â
Hernias
Hernias occur when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weakened area in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to chronic inflammatory conditions affecting the digestive tract, primarily Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Â
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional digestive disorder that affects how the intestines work without causing permanent damage or visible inflammation.Â
Motility Disorders / Trouble Swallowing
Motility disorders affect how food, liquids, and waste move through the digestive tract due to abnormal muscle or nerve function. These conditions can interfere with swallowing and normal digestion.
Pancreatic Cancer, Tumors, Cysts, Pancreatitis
Pancreatic cancer develops when abnormal cells grow within the pancreas, an organ involved in digestion and blood sugar regulation.Â
Postoperative Complications
In some cases, after surgery, postoperative complications, including perforations, leaks, and fistulas, can arise and result in severe infections. Dr. Perry is an expert in advanced endoscopic suturing and stenting, offering solutions for these postoperative issues.
Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the lining of the colon and rectum.
Â
Â
Ulcers
Ulcers are open sores that develop in the lining of the stomach or upper small intestine. These sores commonly occur due to Helicobacter pylori infection or long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs).
Stomach Cancer
Stomach Cancer, also known as gastric cancer, develops when abnormal cells grow within the lining of the stomach. The disease often develops gradually over time and may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages.Â
