Gastroenterology is a subspecialty of Internal Medicine that focuses on the intestinal tract and liver. Ailments such as heartburn, ulcers, pancreatitis, hepatitis and colitis are the most common gastrointestinal complaints. Much of the field focuses on early colon cancer detection and endoscopy. Often endoscopy is performed to visualize and examine the internal organs, which include the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. It is also performed to treat conditions. Among them are colon polyps, intestinal bleeding, and stones in the bile duct. Much of our practice is devoted to colon cancer screening.
As well, common symptoms seen by gastroenterologists include:
- Heartburn
- Liver Diseases
- Jaundice
- Chest Pain
- Colitis
- Diarrhea
- Bleeding
- Abdominal Pain
- Constipation
- Hepatitis
- Ulcers
- Nervous stomach
We diagnose and treat these symptoms as well as many others. In addition, we feel it is very important for you to stay in close contact with your primary care physician so that all medical conditions may be addressed.
