            Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Pedro Greer offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

            • Liver Biopsy: To ensure the health of your liver, a liver biopsy helps doctors assess the extent of liver damage and guide treatment decisions, ultimately preventing further complications.

            • Colonoscopy: Invest in your well-being with a colonoscopy. This valuable screening tool helps detect colon cancer and other intestinal issues at an early, more treatable stage.

            Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Gastrointestinal care with Dr. Pedro Greer:

            What is a Gastroenterologist?
            Dr. Greer and our team are gastroenterologists, meaning we are specialists who have extensive training in the health of your digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, colon, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. We are experts in diagnosing and treating conditions, and we perform preventive screenings like colonoscopies.
            When should I get my first screening colonoscopy?
            For average-risk individuals, routine screening colonoscopies are now recommended to begin at age 45. However, individuals with a family history of colon cancer or other risk factors may need to start earlier. Dr. Greer will determine the best, personalized screening schedule for you.
            How do you manage chronic conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis?
            Dr. Greer's approach to chronic conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis is a long-term partnership focused on achieving and maintaining remission. We utilize advanced therapies to control inflammation, combined with personalized nutritional guidance and regular monitoring to prevent flare-ups and improve your quality of life.
            I have frequent heartburn. When should I be concerned?
            While occasional heartburn is common, frequent or worsening symptoms (more than twice a week) should be evaluated. This could be a sign of GERD, which, if left untreated, can lead to more serious problems. Dr. Pedro Greer can diagnose the cause and create an effective treatment plan.
            What are gallstones?
            Gallstones are small, hard deposits that can form in the gallbladder. Many people have them without any problems. They only become a concern if they cause blockages, leading to pain, which Dr. Greer can help diagnose.
            What is a capsule endoscopy?
            A capsule endoscopy is a modern, non-invasive way to examine your small intestine. A small, pill-sized camera is swallowed, taking thousands of pictures as it travels through your digestive tract. This allows us to view areas of the small intestine that are difficult to reach with traditional scopes.
            What is the difference between a colonoscopy and an upper endoscopy (EGD)?
            A colonoscopy examines the large intestine (colon) to screen for colon cancer, while an upper endoscopy (EGD) examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine to diagnose issues like heartburn or difficulty swallowing.
            What is 'fatty liver disease' and is it serious?
            Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a very common condition often linked to metabolic health issues like obesity and diabetes. Fortunately, in its early stages, it can often be reversed with lifestyle changes. However, it's important to manage NAFLD to prevent progression to more serious liver damage.
