What are Gastrointestinal Services?

Gastrointestinal services offer inpatient and outpatient medical care for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the digestive tract. Gastroenterology focuses on the functions of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts and liver. In essence, all normal activity and disease of the digestive organs is part of the study of gastroenterology. A gastroenterologist is a physician with dedicated training and unique experience in the management of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver.

Digestive disorders are among the most common and serious afflictions affecting our population today, affecting more than 95 million Americans each year. In fact, the most important function a gastroenterologist performs is the early detection of colon cancer through a screening colonoscopy.  Request an appointment with a digestive health specialist today.
