A gastroenterologist is a medical doctor with specialized training in diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the digestive system including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver. These specialists address conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, pancreatitis, liver cirrhosis, and gastrointestinal cancers.
Our gastroenterology team consists of board-certified gastroenterologists, hepatologists, gastrointestinal surgeons, nurse practitioners, and nutrition specialists who work collaboratively to provide comprehensive digestive health care. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools including endoscopy, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, and advanced imaging techniques to accurately diagnose and treat gastrointestinal conditions. Our approach combines evidence-based medicine with personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Our gastroenterology department is equipped with state-of-the-art endoscopic suites and diagnostic facilities. We perform both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures including polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection, stent placement, and advanced therapeutic endoscopy. For complex cases, we collaborate with surgical oncology, radiology, and pathology specialists through our multidisciplinary gastrointestinal tumor board to ensure optimal treatment planning and outcomes.
