Heartburn Treatment
Our heartburn treatment addresses acid reflux through personalized lifestyle modifications and advanced diagnostics. Patients receive guidance on dietary changes, posture adjustments, and medication management to reduce symptoms. We emphasize long-term solutions to prevent recurrence while ensuring immediate relief from discomfort.
Aspire Weight Loss
The AspireAssist procedure offers a reversible, non-surgical approach to weight loss by removing a portion of stomach contents post-meal. Combined with nutritional counseling, it supports sustainable weight management. Patients benefit from gradual lifestyle changes under physician supervision for safe, effective results.
Colonoscopy
Our colonoscopy services focus on early detection of colorectal cancer and digestive disorders. Using state-of-the-art equipment, we ensure thorough examinations in a comfortable office setting. The procedure includes pre-appointment guidance, sedation options, and post-care follow-up to prioritize patient safety and outcomes.
Ulcerative Colitis Care
Specialized care for ulcerative colitis includes medication regimens, flare-up management, and surgical options when necessary. We tailor treatments to reduce inflammation, alleviate symptoms, and improve quality of life. Ongoing monitoring ensures effective long-term disease control.
Hemorrhoid Care
Hemorrhoid care utilizes nonsurgical techniques like the CRH O'Regan System to cut off blood supply and shrink hemorrhoids. Patients experience rapid relief with minimal downtime. We prioritize conservative treatments first, reserving surgery for severe cases to ensure optimal comfort and recovery.

Report
On June 6th 2019, I went in for a colonoscopy and everyone that was part of the procedure made me feel real comfortable. Prior to the procedure Dr Gaston made me aware of the good and the bad. Well, of course I was a bit nervous until that anesthesia hit me I was out like a light. Dr Gaston told me when I had awaken that he found 6 polyps and removed them while I was asleep. I feel good and have been working towards changing my diet. Men 50 and over need to get checked out and I recommend going to Dr Gaston.

I went to see Dr. Gaston on last week, wait time wasnt bad at all. But, found him to be very arrogant, it was like what can I do for you. Thought he would give me some guidance. Now, in fairly, I did know a lot about my condition, still thought as a doctor he would have given me some options. But, he has no problem talking about the 6,000 weight lose surgery. Not a mean doctor, just wasnt all that caring.

I was very nervous prior to my colonscopy, but Dr. Gaston''s calm and matter-of-fact presentation put me immediately at ease. From the receptionist to the anesthesiologist, I felt I was in professional and capable hands. I highly recommend Dr. Gaston.
