The small intestine sits beyond the reach of standard scopes. A capsule endoscopy photographs it from the inside — no sedation, no scope, no downtime.
Capsule endoscopy uses a vitamin-sized capsule containing a tiny camera. After you swallow it, it travels the length of your digestive tract taking thousands of images of the small intestine, transmitted to a small recorder you wear. It's painless, sedation-free, and the capsule passes naturally.
You'll fast beforehand, swallow the capsule in the office, and go about a quiet day while the recorder collects images — typically about eight hours. There's no sedation and no recovery time. I then review the full image series and go over the findings with you. The disposable capsule passes on its own, usually unnoticed.
Request an appointment and the office will take it from there.
