Good place to learn what Upper GI Endoscopy is, providing a step-by-step explanation of the entire procedure, including what the endoscope is and how it works. Gives tips on how to prepare for, and what to expect during, the procedure, as well as the rare possible complications that might develop. I appreciated the diagrams provided to help the reader picture the entire process. Good resource!
