EnglishWhat GI Procedures Are Offered at the Center for Colon & Digestive Disease?
Updated
The Center for Colon & Digestive Disease (CCDD) in Huntsville, Alabama describes its offerings as a suite of minimally invasive and surgical procedures for diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal disorders, using leading-edge imaging technology. The one procedure the site names specifically is FibroScan, a noninvasive liver test. If you are looking for a full procedure-by-procedure list, the site's "Gastrointestinal Procedures" section is the place to check, since the homepage itself does not enumerate every option.
What the site states about procedures
CCDD's homepage presents its procedure offering in general terms rather than as a detailed catalog:
- Scope: minimally invasive and surgical procedures
- Purpose: diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders
- Technology: leading-edge imaging technology
That framing tells you the practice positions itself as handling both diagnostic and treatment procedures, and that imaging plays a role in how those procedures are performed. It does not, on the homepage, list individual procedure names beyond FibroScan.
FibroScan: the named noninvasive test
FibroScan is the one procedure the site describes in any detail. According to CCDD:
| Feature | What the site says |
|---|---|
| What it measures | Liver stiffness and fat buildup |
| Purpose | Helps evaluate liver health |
| Sedation | None required |
| Time | Typically completed in just a few minutes |
| Invasiveness | Noninvasive |
If your question is specifically about liver assessment without sedation, FibroScan is the concrete answer the site provides. For anything else — colonoscopy, endoscopy, or other GI procedures — the site directs readers to its dedicated procedures section rather than describing them on the homepage.
How to find the complete procedure list
Because the homepage only summarizes, use these entry points on the site:
- Gastrointestinal Procedures — the section described as covering the suite of minimally invasive and surgical procedures.
- Gastrointestinal Conditions — useful if you are starting from a symptom or diagnosis rather than a procedure name.
- Patient Portal — for patients already in the practice.
- GI Videos — educational and humorous video resources; the site notes it does not treat sickness or disease as a laughing matter.
Practical considerations before you call
- Hours: Monday–Friday, 8 AM – 5 PM, per the site.
- Location context: the practice serves Huntsville and Madison, Alabama, and describes itself as North Alabama's preferred gastroenterology center.
- New physician: the site welcomes Dr. Peter DeLeeuw, board certified in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology, who completed a gastroenterology fellowship at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga, where he served as chief fellow.
- Recognition: the Huntsville Endoscopy Center was named Best GI Ambulatory Surgery Center in Alabama two years in a row (2025 and 2026), per the site.
What the site does not answer
The homepage does not provide a complete list of every procedure, prep instructions, scheduling details, insurance information, or pricing. For those specifics, the procedures section and a direct call to the office during open hours are the appropriate next steps.
