HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You can ask your GP for referral to a private gastroenterologist who may or may not be able to perform the procedure for you.
He or she will assess you and determine if the procedure is a possibility for you.
Gastroenterologist in your area may also be found online at different web sites such as healthgrades, zocdoc or physiciandirectory.
I hope this helps
