Dr. Shail Maheshwari, Dr. Avais Chatha, Dr. Apurva Varia, and the team at the Center for Digestive Disease in Shenandoah, Texas, recently shared their experience with CapsoCam Plus® as part of their efforts to revolutionize care, improve diagnostic confidence, and enhance patient convenience at their practice.
“As a GI, there’s a lot of tools in our arsenal to help examine as well as provide therapeutics to our patients,” explains Dr. Avais Chatha, a board-certified gastroenterologist at the Center for Digestive Disease in the video testimonial. “One of the new groundbreaking technologies that has been able to provide a lot of expertise in this field is capsule endoscopy, and that provides us the ability to basically look at the small bowel, which was an area of the gut that we could not easily reach with our endoscopic tools.”
“CapsoCam is a very convenient way to perform capsule endoscopy on patients,” shares Dr. Shail Maheshwari, a board-certified gastroenterologist at the Center for Digestive Disease. “I think my favorite feature of the CapsoCam is the ease of reading it off the web… It allows you to get a 360 view of the lining, allowing us a clear view between the folds, what could have been missed with the original product that we were using previous to this. I feel like I’m finding more lesions inside the small intestines because of the side viewing nature of the capsule.”
Dr. Maheshwari adds, “If another doctor were to ask me why they should use CapsoCam, I would say the ease on the office is the biggest benefit of switching and you don’t realize it until after you switch.”
“The reason we made the switch is because the ease for the patient not to return to the practice to drop off the belt pack, and the software allows us to read it from home remotely,” says Dr. Apurva Varia at the Center for Digestive Disease.
A support staff member at the practice concludes their experience with CapsoCam Plus as, “It’s 100% the best thing that we’ve ever done.”
