What does a gastroenterologist treat?
A gastroenterologist is a doctor who specializes in caring for the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver. Our team treats concerns like abdominal pain, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, celiac disease, colitis, Crohn’s disease, ulcers, hepatitis, swallowing difficulties, and more.
When should I see a gastroenterology specialist?
If you have ongoing digestive concerns like persistent stomach pain, changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, trouble swallowing, or liver issues, it’s a good idea to make an appointment with our specialists. We are here to listen and help you find answers.
What is a colonoscopy and who needs one?
A colonoscopy is a test that allows our team to view the inside of your colon. It is often recommended for people 45 years and older to screen for colorectal cancer, but there may be other reasons you need one, like ongoing digestive symptoms. Early detection can make a big difference.
Are there non-invasive ways to examine my digestive system?
Yes. Our team uses options like the PillCam® SB Capsule Endoscopy, which allows us to view the small intestine using a tiny camera inside a capsule that you swallow. This method does not require sedation and is especially helpful for finding concerns that might not be seen through other tests.
How should I prepare for a GI test or treatment?
We will give you clear instructions on how to prepare for any test or treatment. If you have questions or concerns about preparation, please call our office. We are always happy to help you get ready and feel more comfortable.
