Merit Health Biloxi Now Offers Endoscopic Ultrasound
6/10/2021
Merit Health Biloxi now offers endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), a unique service for our community. Endoscopic ultrasound is a minimally invasive procedure that uses diagnostic ultrasound to produce detailed images of tissues and allows the doctor to reach organs that were difficult to access before such as the pancreas and the outside of the esophagus and stomach.
These are highly specialized procedures so being able to provide our patients with the most comfortable experience and the most accurate possible results is critical,” says Sherry Jeffries, director of surgical services. “This technology is easier to manipulate and provides greater imaging quality.”
“At Merit Health Biloxi, our patients are our top priority and the reason we are committed to using the latest technology to help make their experience as safe as possible,” said Merit Health CEO Tom McDougal. “We are proud to offer the these services that allow us to deliver the best possible care to our patients and be at the forefront in advancing the field of gastroenterology.”
Our board-certified physicians are specialists in the diagnosis and management of diseases that affect the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, liver, gall bladder, and biliary system. Merit Health Biloxi offers digestive care services in a comfortable environment to allow the patient a better quality of life. For more information, call (228) 436-1690.
