Our Gastroenterology Services
1. Routine Gastrointestinal Screenings and Examinations
Routine screenings and early detection are key to preventing serious gastrointestinal conditions. Our gastroenterologists provide thorough evaluations and screenings to assess your digestive health, which may include:
-
Colonoscopy: A procedure used to examine the colon for signs of colorectal cancer, polyps, or other abnormalities. Colonoscopies are recommended for individuals over 50 or for those at high risk of colon cancer.
-
Endoscopy: An examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract using a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to diagnose conditions like acid reflux, ulcers, and inflammation.
-
Capsule Endoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera in a pill-sized capsule to capture images of the small intestine for diagnosing conditions like Crohn’s disease or obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
-
H. Pylori Testing: Screening for Helicobacter pylori infection, which can cause ulcers and lead to chronic gastritis.
-
Liver Function Tests: A series of blood tests used to assess liver health and detect liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.
Early detection through regular screenings can help prevent severe complications and improve treatment outcomes for various gastrointestinal conditions.
2. Diagnostic and Treatment Services for Gastrointestinal Disorders
Our gastroenterologists diagnose and treat a wide variety of gastrointestinal disorders, including:
-
Acid Reflux and GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease): GERD is a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort. We offer lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, surgery to manage GERD symptoms and prevent complications.
-
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A common condition affecting the large intestine, IBS causes symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. We provide dietary guidance, medications, and stress management techniques to help control symptoms.
-
Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis: These inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) cause chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. We offer comprehensive care, including medication management, nutritional counseling, and advanced treatments to control flare-ups and manage long-term health.
-
Celiac Disease: An autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, celiac disease damages the lining of the small intestine. Our gastroenterologists provide diagnosis, treatment plans, and dietary guidance to manage this condition effectively.
-
Lactose Intolerance and Food Sensitivities: We help identify and manage conditions where your body has difficulty digesting certain foods, including lactose and gluten. Our specialists offer dietary modifications and other treatments to help alleviate symptoms.
-
Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Whether due to ulcers, hemorrhoids, or more serious conditions like varices, gastrointestinal bleeding requires immediate attention. We provide diagnostic procedures, treatment plans, and follow-up care to address the underlying cause.
3. Hepatology (Liver Disease)
The liver is a vital organ that plays an essential role in digestion, detoxification, and metabolism. Our hepatology services include the diagnosis and treatment of liver conditions such as:
-
Hepatitis B and C: Chronic viral infections that can lead to liver damage, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. We provide antiviral therapies and ongoing monitoring to manage these conditions.
-
Fatty Liver Disease: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) can lead to liver inflammation and cirrhosis. Our specialists provide management strategies, including weight management and lifestyle changes.
-
Cirrhosis and Liver Failure: Advanced liver disease that leads to scarring and loss of liver function. We offer comprehensive care, including monitoring for complications, liver transplant referrals, and palliative care.
4. Pancreatic and Biliary Diseases
The pancreas and biliary system play important roles in digestion and enzyme production. Our gastroenterology team provides care for conditions that affect these organs, such as:
-
Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas that can cause severe abdominal pain. We offer diagnostic tests, management plans, and treatments to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.
-
Gallstones: Hard deposits in the gallbladder can block bile flow and lead to pain and infection. We offer diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasound, and treatments, including surgery, to remove the gallbladder if necessary.
5. Weight Management and Bariatric Care
For individuals struggling with obesity, we provide weight management programs tailored to your specific needs. Our bariatric services include:
-
Nutritional Counseling: Our team works with you to create a healthy eating plan that supports weight loss and improves overall health.

Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when detected early. Our gastroenterology team provides routine colon cancer screenings, including colonoscopy, to detect early signs of cancer, polyps, or other abnormalities.
