EGD (Upper Endoscopy)

EGD / EGD with Bravo / EDG with Dilitation

An esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD, also known as an upper endoscopy, upper GI endoscopy or panendoscopy) is a procedure that enables your physician to examine the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract, which is the esophagus (swallowing tube), stomach and duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine). This is done by using a thin flexible tube with its own lens and light source.

What to Expect

Your doctor will review with you why upper endoscopy is being performed, whether any alternative tests are available and possible complications from the procedure. You will be given medication through a vein to help you relax during the test. While you are in a comfortable position on your side, the endoscope is passed through the mouth, esophagus, stomach and duodenum. The endoscope does not interfere with your breathing during the test and you will be asleep during the procedure.

What Is An Upper Endoscopy?

Upper Endoscopy (also known as an upper GI endoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy [EGD] or panendoscopy) is a procedure that enables your physician to examine the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract, i.e., the esophagus (swallowing tube), stomach, and duodenum (first portion of the small intestine). This is done by using a thin flexible tube with its own lens and light source.

Why Is Upper Endoscopy Done?

Upper endoscopy is usually performed to evaluate symptoms of persistent upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing. It is also the best test for finding the cause of bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Upper endoscopy is more accurate than x-ray films for detecting inflammation, ulcers or tumors of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. Upper endoscopy can detect early cancer and can distinguish between benign and malignant (cancerous) conditions when biopsies (small tissue samples) of suspicious areas are obtained. Biopsies are taken for many reasons and do not necessarily mean that cancer is suspected. A cytology test (introduction of a small brush) to collect cells may also be performed.

What Preparation Is Required?

For the best (and safest) examination, the stomach must be completely empty. You should have nothing to eat or drink, including water, after midnight the night before your procedure. Your doctor will be more specific about the time to begin fasting, depending on the time of day that your test is scheduled.

It is best to inform your doctor of your current medications as well as any allergies.

Why do I need arrangements to get home after the test?

You will need to arrange to have someone to accompany you home from the examination because sedatives may affect your judgement and reflexes for the rest of the day. If you received sedation, you will not be allowed to drive after the procedure even though you may not feel tired.

What can be expected during the upper endoscopy?

Your doctor will review with you why upper endoscopy is being performed, whether any alternative tests are available and possible complications from the procedure. You will be given medication through a vein to help you relax during the test. While you are in a comfortable position on your side, the endoscope is passed through the mouth and then in turn through the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. The endoscope does not interfere with your breathing during the test and you will be asleep during the procedure.

What happens after upper endoscopy?

After the test, you will be monitored in the endoscopy area until most of the effects of the medication have worn off. Your throat may be a little sore for a while, and you may feel bloated right after the procedure because of the air introduced into your stomach during the test. You will be able to resume your diet after you leave the procedure area unless you are instructed otherwise.

In most circumstances, your doctor can inform you of your test results on the day of the procedure; however, the results of biopsies or cytology samples taken will take several days.

What are the possible complications of upper endoscopy?

Endoscopy is generally safe. Complications can occur, but are rare when the test is performed by physicians with specialized training and experience in this procedure. Bleeding may occur from a biopsy site or where a polyp was removed. It is usually minimal and rarely requires blood transfusions or surgery. Localized irritation of the vein where medication was injected may rarely cause a tender lump lasting for several weeks, but this will go away eventually. Applying heat packs or hot moist towels may help relieve discomfort. Major complications, such as perforations (a tear in the lining of the GI tract that might require surgery for repair), are very uncommon.

I was very happy with my appointment yesterday. Took time to listen to all my concerns and answered so I understood. I highly recommend Center for Digestive Health . I have had a few colonoscopies done here and I wouldn’t go anywhere else to have them done. In and out in very little time!

Lorraine S.

My experience with the CDG Surgical Center was excellent. There had been some confusion in the referral process (not on their part). Once I explained the situation, the doctor and her staff were flexible and quickly adjusted to meet my needs. They were timely, thorough, and polite. I highly recommend Dr. Bakken.

Denise H.

Center for Digestive Health is a perfect place to go if you have any type of digestive issue. They make you feel very comfortable talking about any issue you may be experiencing and they ask all the appropriate questions all the while putting you at ease. When I called I was worried about something and they worked to get me right in. I saw the PA Noelle and she is just wonderful. Everyone at the desk and beyond are very welcoming and helpful. Dr. Weber has been my doctor there for years and I trust him explicitly. His assistant Debbie always helps me out and listens to me and is always very kind. The office is warm, clean and inviting. There are a few locations and so that makes it very nice. All in all I’m very impressed with this group of Doctors, Nurses and Assistants.

Helen G.

The office was further for me to drive, but was glad I was able to see Dr. Willie due to a cancelation. Dr Will is a good doctor that listens and is very thorough.

Giacomo C.

Dr. Rocco and the staff are always thorough and professional.

Justin D.

Great Staff! Well organized. Dr. Wille has good bedside manner & did a terrific job!

Jennifer T.

The staff was so kind and attentive.

Robyn R.

Staff was professional and very friendly. My nurse Alyssa was absolutely the best I’ve ever had. I’m an extremely hard poke when it comes to IVs. Usually takes three times. Of course this makes me very nauseous and almost passing out due to all the pokes. She told me not to worry and relax.
She’s got me. Alyssa told me she was using a 22 gauge which USA very small needle and she was able to get it in the side of my hand without me feeling a thing. OMG I cannot thank her enough.
I love Dr. Willie, who is definitely one of my favorite and best docs. So kind, understanding, thorough, easy to speak with, and I never feel rushed.
Thank you again for my wonderful care.

Lucia G.

Great care, the staff is very professional and friendly. It was great to receive a follow up call the next day . Thank you

All of the Staff and the Doctor working at the office were very nice. The doctor understood my concern about My Bi Polar meds because of the reaction I had during my recent heart bypass surgery and the time it took to get back to normal again. The doctor came up with several solutions to my fear of having to get the Anastasia while taking my Bi polar meds and suggested a few other solutions to the the Anastasia. The doctor was great in understanding of my fear of going under Anastasia.

Tina B.

Dr Webber is absolutely the kindest Dr I've ever been a patient of.
I can imagine that the medical profession is very demanding and I've been in offices where the Dr's have been short and barely stay in the room 2 minutes and I'm left with more questions than I walked in with but not with Dr Webber, I was the last appointment of the day and I'm sure he was ready for his day to be over but he stayed in there and answered every question that I had and was so kind and caring.
I highly recommend Dr Weber and his staff which were also completely amazing.
Thank you for showing that you actually care about your patients.

Ariana G.

I was very pleased with my first visit in the Clinton Twp office, Dr. Wille and his staff were so kind, knowledgeable and friendly during my visit.

Dr Weber has been my G.I. doctor for 24 years. He always listens and pays attention and he has such a genuine bedside manner with his patients. It’s so nice to see a doctor listen to you and not just stare at a computer but actually talk directly to you. Means so much.

Carrie F.

Very nice staff! My visit went smoothly and Everyone made me feel comfortable!

Lisa L.

Such a pleasant group of nurses and doctors.

A very caring and professional facility. Everyone answered all my questions from check-in to recovery. I was given a very thorough report of my procedure with post op instructions.

The front office staff and scheduling staff are always pleasant.

Bernie W.

As a person with health anxiety, I wasn’t looking forward to this test at all—especially the prep. I got thru that ok and had the best experience once I got to the surgical center. DR. BAkken is so kind, warm and knowledgeable. I have had her for my last 4 colonoscopies. Her team is also very kind and helpful throughout the entire procedure. Don’t fear getting a colonoscopy. They are lifesaving and not stressful at all!

Danielle W.

Awesome staff and Dr Abidar is wonderful

Denise K.

I changed to Dr Willy because I wasn't getting any progress from my previous Dr. Things aren't going any differently here. He wants to schedule more tests that I've already had on more than one occasion. I had 17 ERCPs in 3 years with my previous DR. and now he wants another. I did the colonoscopy and EUS 2 years ago with Dr Willey. He said to make sure he didn't miss anything. If he missed something I don't want him as my Dr.!

Charles S.

This is my 2nd Colonoscopy but my first with the Centrr for Digestive Health. The staff were awesome! Very nice and knew what they were doing. It's difficult to get a needle in my vein and they got it the first time. They even followed up with a phone call to see how i was doing after the surgery.

I would highly recommend them.

Joseph and Darlene B.

I was early for my appointment & the Staff & Dr couldn't have been more friendly, accomodating & efficient at getting me seen & on my way home!!

I am so grateful for such wonderful care and highly recommend this practice.

Jaden D.

I have had really bad experiences with Gastroenterologists in the past due to my history with bulimia nervosa. I have complications from years of my illness, and have been turned down by Gastros in the past or them downplaying my symptoms. I was really anxious going into this appt with Dr. Richard Wille, however I had the best experience ever! He listened to me, didnt make me feel bad about my history, and developed a plan to figure out what's going on. I never make reviews, however, I am just so grateful to have found a doctor who actually cares and listens to their patients. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a gastroenterologist!

Colleen W.

Jessica Long, NP, was extremely pleasant, efficient, thorough, professional, knowledgeable, informative, & conscientious! She had a number of suggestions for adjusting my treatment that has me feeling hopeful for experiencing less G.I. symptoms! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her highly! The gentleman who brought me in to take my vital signs & edit my Med Profile did not give me his name, nor was he wearing a name tag that I could see. He was not very friendly or personable, but he did his job & I can't really fault him for tha! (He did not, however, look like he was very happy to be at work!) The staff at the front desk AND the checkout area were awesome! Nolan, was extra helpful in that he printed out my Visit Summary & mailed it to me! What a nice favor & such an accommodating, friendly fellow! Thanks very much, Everyone… And keep up the great work! We Patients appreciate everything you do for us!!!

Another event end of year 2025 that sent me to the ER & needed a follow up with Dr Wille.

Dawn N.

Hi I have been a patient of Center for Digestive Health since I was in my mid 20's. I am now in my late 40's now.. I have seen Dr.Donat and a few of the other Dr's in the practice. Dr. Donat has been my primary person. He has been amazing. My problems have been complicated and challenging. I know I have caused him head scratching moments of wondering what the heck is wrong. Yet all thru it his bedside manner has been amazing kind he answers all my questions. He never makes you feel uncomfortable or unimportant. If you have GI issues or need GI help. Go see him. Or anyone of the other staff. The office staff is amazing as well his Medical Assistant Sarah is so thoughtful. Thank you everyone at The Center For Digestive Health For Making what could be an uncomfortable time less difficult.

Sharon M.

George K.

I had a procedure this morning with Dr. Nandi at the Surgical Centers of Michigan located on Investment Drive. Dr. Nandi as always was the most professional and caring doctor that I have encountered.
But, what impressed me was the staff in the office. The TEAM (receptionist, the nurse who checked me and made me ready for the procedure, Anesthesiologist and nurse in the procedure room, the recovery room nurse, the PA who called me later in the day to check-up on me) showed me such care and compassion. It made me feel as if I was the most important patient that they would encounter.
It is obvious that these professionals love what they are doing. They love helping others. That made all the difference to me.
Thank you.

Terri D.

This place is awesome! If you have gut issues, this is your place. The utmost of professionalism! Can’t say enough good!

I was recommended Dr Saeed by my PCP. The office sent paperwork plenty in advance. Although some of it seemed unnecessary the prepping instructions were easy to follow and worked out perfectly. The facility moved like clockwork and t he procedure went swiftly. They explained everything to me thoroughly and I felt very satisfied by the experience. I would highly recommend.

The procedure was painless. The doctor and anesthesiologist were wonderful and took time to explain the results. I felt great when I woke up and went out to enjoy a relaxing breakfast.

Couldn’t ask for a more efficient, friendly and comfortable experience, considering the procedure was a colonoscopy. Dr. Willie and staff were wonderful. See you in 5 years!

From check in to being assisted safely to my driver the staff was so kind and professional. They have gotten a 5 stars but I need 1 question answered. I think my awesome Doctor did inform me but coming from under anesthesia I don't think I recall- this is my only reason I'm withholding 1 pron of the 5 star in my mind lol 😊 no doubt they are fivevstar. Dr. John Webber and team was soooo wonderful and positive. Thanks to the entire staff from check in to check out at the Surgical Center of Michigan.

FAQs

What happens during my first visit?

If you are a new patient, you can expect to have a complete physical exam. You will also be asked detailed questions about your current problems and your past medical history, your current medications, allergies, your family history and other pertinent medical information. If you are taking medications, please bring a completed medical history form with you to your appointment. Once the physician has reviewed your medical information and completed the physical examination, a plan of care will be developed. You may need to be seen again in the office, be referred back to your family physician for follow-up care, or require additional testing. If additional tests are needed, we will assist you in scheduling these tests.

What if I need to schedule an endoscopic procedure?

An endoscopic procedure allows the physician to visualize a part of your gastrointestinal tract with a special instrument called an endoscope. If your family physician has ordered testing, you will be contacted by telephone by one of our staff members. If a physician orders testing and you are in the office, the procedure can generally be scheduled during the course of your visit. You will be given a date, time, and location for the test, as well as written instructions telling you how to prepare for the test. If you have any questions about the procedure, please feel free to ask one of our staff members or the physician.

How do I get test results?

We ask that you wait 10 to 14 days before contacting us for results. Often results come from several different sources. This information needs to be compiled and reviewed by your physician before you can be appropriately advised.

What insurances do you accept?

We accept payment from most insurance companies including Medicare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Physicians Health Plan, Cofinity, Sparrow Professional Health Network, Medicaid, McLaren, Health Plus, and several others. Accepted insurances are subject to change at any time without notice.

If your insurance requires an authorization from your primary care physician, you may be asked to assist us in obtaining this authorization.

All patients are responsible for all copays and deductibles at the time of service.

If you have any questions regarding your benefits or insurance coverage, please contact our Billing Department at 248-844-9710.

What if I need to contact the doctor?

To contact your doctor during business hours please call our main number 248-844-9710. If you have an urgent need to speak with the doctor after hours, you will be rerouted to our after hours answering service, and your doctor will be paged. In the case of a medical emergency please proceed directly to the nearest hospital emergency room.
