Capsule endoscopy is used to look at the inside lining of the small intestine.

"Honestly I would give her 1000 out of 10 for being sooo kind and never rushing or trying to get rid of her patients . She’s knows her work and is very informative. She listens and has great treatments offers which do wonders . It’s rare to find such doctors because most will ignore what you say and do what pleases them . This doctor won’t give up till the situation is tackled. Also PLEASE don’t be LATE not even 5mins . They are very strict when it comes to appointments. You rather be safe than sorry for such a great doctor . It’s worth it trust me :)"
"Thorough and caring doctor who is clear on plan forward and available whenever needed. Very professional."
