Mountain View Hospital provides full gastroenterological services for any patient concerned with the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, rectum, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver. We regularly perform colonoscopies to screen for colon cancer and/or remove polyps and perform upper endoscopies to provide treatment for ulcers and heartburn. We provide inpatient and outpatient services in addition to all endoscopic, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures. And we are constantly seeking to update our knowledge and equipment to provide you with the latest technology and procedures to relieve pain and save lives.
