City context
Chennai has a broader gastroenterology ecosystem, but this page does not infer that every listed centre performs upper GI endoscopy. Doctor and hospital cards in Chennai resolve only from exact live CMS relationships for Upper GI Endoscopy (Gastroscopy). If that relationship is absent, cards must remain empty; a generic gastroenterology or endoscopy label cannot verify current case acceptance. This is a catalog gap, not a ranking or availability claim.

Confirm the exact campus, lead clinician, imaging, stent or device assumptions, observation plan and handover in writing. General accreditation does not establish current capability or outcomes.
Send GI notes, relevant endoscopy, imaging or liver tests and the current medicine list before travel to Chennai.
Obtain written acceptance from a named gastroenterologist or endoscopist. Confirm endoscopy-unit, ERCP or interventional readiness where relevant and emergency bleeding or pancreatitis backup.
Chennai International Airport: Several GI campuses have comparatively direct airport access, but heat and travel after bowel prep or sedation still require a planned vehicle and companion. Heat can worsen dehydration after prep, POEM or metabolic endoscopy. Fluid and diet targets must come from the treating team.

Treatment guides
ERCP combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat selected problems involving the bile ducts and pancreatic duct, including certain stones and blockages. Under sedation or anaesthesia, a side-viewing endoscope reaches the duodenal papilla. The duct is cannulated, contrast is injected and planned therapy — sphincterotomy, stone removal or stenting — is performed when indicated.

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
★★★★★
The hospitality was at its point. I appreciate the great service I got from the team. Being away from Home and get the feeling like you are at home is what Gaf is doing. Thank you once more, this have lifetime memories in my life.
★★★★★
