Services
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy remains the gold standard for colon cancer detection and prevention. Starting at age 45, adults undergo this procedure using high-definition colonoscopes that visualize the entire colon. Our physicians achieve superior polyp detection rates through meticulous technique and advanced imaging, enabling early intervention to prevent cancer progression in Rockland County residents.
ERCP
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combines endoscopy with X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat bile duct and pancreatic disorders. Our specialists inject contrast dye during upper GI endoscopy to identify blockages, tumors, or gallstones, offering minimally invasive therapeutic interventions that reduce the need for open surgery in complex cases.
Capsule Endoscopy
Capsule endoscopy employs a vitamin-sized camera pill to capture detailed images of the small intestine. Natural peristalsis propels this non-invasive device through the GI tract, transmitting images to detect obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease, or tumors that conventional endoscopy might miss in Rockland patients.
FibroScan
FibroScan provides real-time liver stiffness measurements without surgical biopsy. This non-invasive elastography technique quantifies fibrosis and steatosis, allowing immediate treatment planning for hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or cirrhosis with the same-day results interpretation by our hepatology experts.
Infusion Therapy
Our infusion center administers biologic medications for inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. Certified nurses monitor patients during intravenous treatments that target immune pathways, with flexible scheduling every 3-6 months to achieve sustained remission when conventional therapies prove ineffective.

Excellent practice. Dr. Goldenberg is the best. Found my cancer in 2011. I've never had a bad visit from the moment I walk in. They are very attentive and put me at ease whenever I need to see them. I highly recommend them.

I wish to extend my deepest thanks and appreciation to Dr. Andrew Goldenberg and Debbie Caputo for the excellent care and treatment they gave me during my recent stomach issues. They took my complaints seriously and continued doing tests and prescribing medications until my issues were solved. They were kind, caring and excellent communicators. When I called their office, they returned my call the same day. I felt like a valued patient, not just a number to them. I highly recommend both of them.

Report
After receiving exceptional care from doctor Parag Shah back on February 2020, I found out that there was a bill that was never paid. The collection agency informed me that $789.97 was due one year ago. I immediately called my insurance company. they informed me that the doctors office miss coded the invoice and that's why they the Insurance company never paid. When I called back to explain to the book keeper Cathy of there error she snapped telling me that it was my fault that I didn't take care of it sooner. I explained that I never received any bills and to resubmit the bill with the right codes
