Comprehensive Approach
Our practice encompasses all aspects of digestive disease: disorders of the esophagus, the stomach, the small and large intestine; disorders of the liver; and disorders of the pancreas and of the biliary system. A comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of digestive disease is fundamental. The digestive organs are intimately connected. Their interrelationships are complex, and in disease states, disruptions must be thoroughly investigated and properly diagnosed.
We work closely with general practitioners, internists, medical subspecialists,
and surgeons to provide our patients with convenient, optimal care.
Endoscopy
The practice of gastroenterology involves
the use of many tests, primarily endoscopic
procedures. Endoscopy enables direct viewing
of a large portion of the gastrointestinal tract and is used both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Endoscopy is highly accurate in the hands of a properly trained and experienced specialist.
Though important, endoscopy is
not a substitute for a medical evaluation.
We believe that each patient is entitled to
a full evaluation and the rendering of a medical opinion.
Education & Evaluation
We educate our patients about their
condition whether it is simple (e.g.
irritable bowel, hemorrhoids) or complex (e.g. recurrent pancreatitis, chronic active hepatitis). Both the physician and his trained staff participate in the education process. You are encouraged to ask questions. At the end of your evaluation, we will provide you and the physician who referred you with a complete report describing findings, treatment, and any recommendations for follow-up.
