Endoscopy

Endoscopy is a procedure that uses telescopes and small surgical instruments to provide alternative methods of diagnosis and therapeutic treatments.  Dr. Randy Hutchison is equipped to provide gastrointestinal endoscopy, rhinoscopy, cystoscopy, laparoscopic, and thorascopic procedures.  He can work with your referring veterinarian by providing digital images and biopsy reports via e-mail.  Printed photos are also available to assure consistent care for your pet.  These images are coordinated with any histopathology that is submitted.
