Best Endoscopy in Jalandhar — HD Diagnostic & Therapeutic
Dr. Ankit Anand at GastroNova Clinic, GTB Nagar, performs high-definition upper GI endoscopy for accurate diagnosis of GERD, stomach ulcers, H.pylori, GI bleeding, and swallowing disorders — with simultaneous treatment in the same procedure.
Endoscopy — What You Need to Know
Upper GI endoscopy (OGD) visualises the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum to diagnose and treat disorders in a single session.
Fast 6–8 hours before the procedure. Inform Dr. Ankit of all medications, especially blood thinners. Instructions provided at booking.
10–20 minutes under light conscious sedation. Completely painless — you wake up with no memory of discomfort.
Brief 30–45 min observation after sedation. Most patients return home same day. Biopsy results within 2–5 days.
Symptoms That Require an Endoscopy
Dr. Ankit Anand recommends endoscopy when symptoms suggest upper GI disease — or when a definitive diagnosis is needed before starting treatment.

Real Experiences from Endoscopy Patients in Jalandhar
I had severe heartburn for 2 years. Dr. Ankit's endoscopy found Grade B esophagitis and H.pylori. After 14 days of antibiotics, my symptoms are completely gone. The procedure was painless — I don't remember a thing. Very professional setup at GastroNova Clinic.
Raat ko mujhe kaala latrine aayi aur chakkar aaye. Dr. Ankit ne usi raat emergency endoscopy ki aur duodenal ulcer se bleed rok di. Agle din main bilkul theek tha. Unki speed aur skills ne meri jaan bachayi. Bahut shukriya.
I had difficulty swallowing for months and was scared it could be cancer. Dr. Ankit found an esophageal stricture and dilated it in the same procedure. I could eat normally that evening. He took a biopsy too — thankfully benign. Very thorough doctor.
Endoscopy — Frequently Asked Questions
Is endoscopy painful?
No. Endoscopy at GastroNova Clinic is performed under light conscious sedation — you feel nothing during the procedure and wake up with no memory of discomfort. A throat numbing spray is also applied. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is. You can eat and drink normally a few hours after the procedure.
How many endoscopies has Dr. Ankit Anand performed?
Dr. Ankit Anand has personally performed over 20,000+ endoscopic procedures — combining diagnostic endoscopy, therapeutic endoscopy, ERCP, and emergency hemostasis. This volume of experience, built at AIG Hyderabad (Asia's #1 gastroenterology institute), ensures exceptional precision and patient safety.
How long does an endoscopy take and what is recovery time?
The procedure takes 10–20 minutes. You will be monitored for 30–45 minutes while sedation wears off, then go home the same day. Someone should drive you as sedation affects driving for a few hours. Most patients resume normal activities the next day. Biopsy results are available within 2–5 days.
Can endoscopy detect cancer?
Yes. Upper GI endoscopy is the most accurate method to detect esophageal and gastric cancer. HD imaging allows Dr. Ankit to see even early-stage mucosal changes that no scan can identify. If a suspicious lesion is found, a biopsy is taken immediately in the same session. Early detection significantly improves outcomes for stomach and esophageal cancers.
What is the preparation for endoscopy?
Fast — no food or water — for at least 6–8 hours before the procedure. Inform Dr. Ankit about all medications, especially blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel) — these may need to be paused 5–7 days before. Written preparation instructions are provided when you book your appointment at GastroNova Clinic, Jalandhar.
Can endoscopy detect H.pylori infection?
Yes. A biopsy from the stomach lining is tested for H.pylori using the Rapid Urease Test — result in just 15 minutes during the procedure. H.pylori is the #1 cause of peptic ulcers in India. If detected, a 14-day combination antibiotic regimen permanently eradicates the infection, heals existing ulcers, and prevents recurrence.
What is the difference between endoscopy and colonoscopy?
Endoscopy (OGD) examines the upper GI tract — esophagus, stomach, and duodenum — via the mouth. Colonoscopy examines the entire colon and rectum via the anus. They evaluate completely different parts of the digestive system. Both are performed by Dr. Ankit Anand at GastroNova Clinic and Innocent Hearts Hospital, Jalandhar.
