Some issues Dr. Zaree Babakhanian, MD can help you with:

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is the use of a special tool called a colonoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end) to examine the inside of the colon and rectum. The tube is typically inserted anally, and it allows the physician to examine the large intestine from the inside. It may be done at any time to diagnose bowel problems, but routine colonoscopies are advised after the age of 50 to screen for colon cancer.

A colonoscopy may be performed to diagnose:

Intestinal ulcers
Polyps
Bowel cancer
An unidentified source of pain or bleeding in the intestine

Patients may be asked to drink only liquids in the days before a colonoscopy, or they may be given an enema to remove residual fecal matter. Before the exam, patients are given medication to help them relax, and then lay on their side on a table. The scope is inserted into the anus and gently moved all the way through the large intestine. Air may be pumped into the intestine to improve the view for the physician. Any polyps that are found will be removed. Then the colonoscope will be withdrawn. A colonoscopy is not usually painful, but patients may feel some bloating or have some cramps right afterward. If patients have polyps removed, they might experience a small amount of bleeding. Any side effects should go away within a few hours.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2018-01-10

Have been seeing since 2016 for chronic and uncommon GI issues - he's been the most on top of it doctor I've seen in the process of figuring out what's going on and how to fix it. He's really thorough but not the type who rushes to do every test at once unnecessarily and leaves you exhausted - he always goes with the safest and least invasive route first and then works up from there. The one person who left a one star review seems to have just left a review about the staff (front desk is really hard to get through to) and they're ok, but to get around having to deal with the front desk Dr. Babakhanian has a patient portal for appointments and questions and is really on top of it (so you also don't have to keep coming back for follow ups if all that's needed is reviewing a test result).
