Back To All Exams
Esophagus, Stomach and Duodenum (ESD)
Please arrive 15 minutes early for your exam
This allows time for check-in, registration, and any necessary preparation. Arriving early helps ensure your appointment begins on time and supports a smooth experience for all patients. Arriving late increases your chances of us cancelling or rescheduling your exam for another day.
- Nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before your exam; this includes no smoking, chewing gum, or candy. Your throat must be absolutely dry.
- If possible, please refrain from taking any oral medications before your exam. Anything not taken by mouth is alright- ie. patches worn for health reasons are fine. We encourage patients to bring their medication to the exam, so they can take it afterward.
- Bring your requisition (unless your physician already submitted it on your behalf), Alberta Health Care card (or out of town province health care card), and photo identification with you to your exam!
- We are a scent-free environment. Please refrain from from using perfumes or heavily scented products when you or your care giver enter our clinics. Many of our staff are sensitive to perfumes and scented products. Using perfumes or heavily scented products may disrupt the completion of your exam.
Did you know, patients who forget their requisition will likely have to defer their exam?
