Gastroenterologists are experts of the digestive system and related organs. They treat conditions that affect your stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, intestines and colon.

Many of these conditions and diseases that affect your digestive system have similar symptoms but different causes. These conditions can be complicated and challenging to diagnose. Our experts use state-of-the-art imaging and technology to assist their clinical expertise.

Gastroenterology covers the treatment of diseases and disorders of the digestive tract and liver. We treat:

• Abdominal pain
• Biliary tract disease
• Congenital Liver Defects
• Constipation
• Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
• Diarrhea
• Digestive diseases, including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, gallbladder and liver
• Digestive Disorders
• Diverticular Disease
• Esophagitis
• Gastritis
• Gastroesophageal reflux
• Hepatitis
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Liver Disease
• Malabsorptive disorders
• Other Liver Disorders
• Pancreatic diseases
• Pancreatitis
• Peritonitis
• Rectal Prolapse
• Virtual Colonoscopy for Cancer Screening
• Vomiting

The diagnostic and therapeutic procedures we use to treat gastrointestinal issues are:

• Anorectal Manometry - A test used to evaluate the function and coordination of the anal sphincters and pelvic floor muscles useful in assessing constipation, fecal incontinence, and anorectal function.
• Bravo pH Probe - A 48 hour test which allows for evaluation of reflux symptoms.
• Capsule Endoscopy - A small pill camera which is used to evaluate the small bowel.
• Colonoscopy - A procedure which examines your large bowel to remove colon polyps before they become cancerous, diagnose and treat bleeding, or evaluate unexplained changes in bowel habits.
• Colorectal cancer screening
• Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) - A procedure that combines the use of x-rays and an endoscope to provide treatment of the biliary and pancreatic ducts.
• Endoscopic Ultrasound - This procedure uses an endoscope with an ultrasound probe to evaluate difficult to image areas of the gastrointestinal tract such as the pancreas or submucosal nodules, diagnose and stage cancers, and provide treatments such as celiac plexus blocks or cyst drainage.
• Esophageal Manometry - A test used to assess pressure and motor function of the esophagus designed to enable the diagnoses and treatment of complaints of chest pain, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, and food digestion.
• Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) - A procedure that examines your upper intestinal tract to diagnose and treat problems with swallowing, unexplained weight loss, bleeding, or abdominal pain.
• Gastrostomy Tube Placements - A procedure which provides an alternative method of feeding through the stomach when normal methods of feeding are impaired.
• Hemorrhoidal Banding - Also known as Rubber Band Ligation, this procedure is used to treat internal hemorrhoids.
• IV Remicade Therapy for Crohn's Disease - One of the most effective medications available to help treat Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (a form of inflammatory bowel disease)
