What is a gastroenterologist
Gastroenterologists are medical professionals trained in the processes and conditions of the GI tract. Our specialists use minimally invasive, advanced technology to view the organs and structures involved with the digestion of food, absorption of nutrients and removal of waste from the body.
We provide compassionate digestive health care and work with other physicians, such as oncologists for gastrointestinal cancers, to provide excellent multidisciplinary care.
