Colon Cancer Screening
Our colon cancer screening services use advanced endoscopic techniques to detect early signs of colorectal cancer. We provide comprehensive evaluations for patients aged 45+, individuals with family history, or those experiencing symptoms. Our board-certified gastroenterologists perform colonoscopies with precision, ensuring accurate diagnosis and timely intervention when needed.
GERD Treatment
We specialize in diagnosing and managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) through evidence-based treatments. Our approach combines lifestyle modifications, medication management, and advanced therapies for chronic heartburn and acid regurgitation. Our team addresses complications like esophagitis while helping patients achieve long-term symptom relief through personalized care plans.
Endoscopies
Our endoscopic procedures include upper GI endoscopies (EGD) and colonoscopies performed with state-of-the-art equipment. These diagnostic and therapeutic interventions help identify ulcers, tumors, and inflammatory conditions while enabling tissue sampling or polyp removal. Our physicians ensure patient comfort through sedation options and thorough pre-procedure guidance.
Hemorrhoid Treatment
We offer both conservative and advanced treatments for hemorrhoids, including dietary counseling, minimally invasive procedures, and surgical options. Our providers assess severity and recommend appropriate interventions ranging from lifestyle changes to rubber band ligation. The goal is to alleviate discomfort while addressing underlying causes of rectal bleeding or swelling.

Dr. Dastgir is all you would want in a Physician: Timely, attentive, efficient, intelligent, patient, caring. All with a great bed-side manner. He is one of few you find with all these attributes. I would not choose to see a different Gastroenterologist , and he performs the procedures at Brandon Surgery Center, a top-notch facility with the friendliest, caring staff Ive ever seen.
