Some sensitive medical concerns like those involving your gastrointestinal tract may need more specific care than your primary care doctor typically provides. Our Gastroenterologist has up to five additional years of specialized medical training and significant experience with diseases affecting the stomach, intestines, esophagus, liver, pancreas, colon and rectum. You should see a gastroenterologist if you have any symptoms of a digestive health disorder or if you need a colon cancer screening.

Often, seeing a gastroenterologist leads to more accurate detection of polyps and cancer, fewer complications from procedures and less time spent in the hospital.
