Comprehensive Care for All Your GI Needs

Content

Our Comprehensive Gastroenterology program provides a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in a multidisciplinary fashion. Our providers work to diagnose patients who have complex sets of symptoms without a diagnosis and manage already diagnosed patients with up-to-date, evidence-based treatment strategies.

Services

Content

We offer a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic services to meet and serve patients wherever they are in their course of gastrointestinal problems. From the work-up of undiagnosed symptoms (e.g., gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation) to the multidisciplinary, team-based management of complex gastrointestinal problems (e.g. Inflammatory Bowel Disease, chronic pancreatitis, Barrett's esophagus, large polyps and sever irritable bowel syndrome). 

Our physicians work in team-based models of care with a dietician and clinical psychologist available to meet the needs of the whole patient. We look forward to the opportunity to provide your GI care.

Office Based Procedures

Our gastroenterology team provides clinic-based procedures; a variety of minor procedures in our clinics, rather than sending you to hospital or surgery center.

We offer a variety of clinic-based procedures including:

  • Breath testing
  • Rectal balloon expulsion and rectal sensitivity test
  • Video capsule endoscopy
  • SmartPill Capsule
