If you struggle with chronic gastrointestinal discomfort or pain, life can be hard to manage. The gastroenterology specialists at Catholic Health can help you find relief.
From gastroesophageal reflux to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), we use the most advanced tools and techniques to diagnose and treat all conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. Our gastroenterologists and colorectal specialists are also experienced in the early detection and prevention of these conditions, including colon cancer.
A colonoscopy is recommended for everyone at age 45, or earlier for those with a family history of colon cancer. Early stages of colon cancer often don’t present any symptoms, which is why it is so important to get a colonoscopy screening to help detect and remove pre-cancerous polyps.
Other screening tests include flexible sigmoidoscopy and virtual colonoscopy. The best way to determine which procedure is right for you is to schedule an appointment and discuss this with our experienced gastroenterologists and colorectal specialists.
Gastrointestinal conditions can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small and large intestines, and rectum). Not only are our gastroenterologists focused on determining the most effective treatment for these conditions, but they are also dedicated to the early detection and prevention of a range of diseases, including certain cancers.
Some of the conditions we care for include:
Endoscopy is a procedure that uses a lighted, flexible tool called an endoscope to see the inside of the upper gastrointestinal tract. This procedure can diagnose and treat several gastrointestinal conditions, including pancreatic and liver disease, gastrointestinal cancer, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
Our gastroenterologists use the most advanced endoscopy techniques to deliver more accurate diagnoses and targeted treatments, so you feel quicker relief from your symptoms.
