Our GI services
We work to get to know you and your level of personal health so we can design the best possible digestive care plan for your particular condition.
Gastroenterology care
In addition to using traditional GI diagnostics and treatments, including bronchoscopy, colonoscopy and minimally invasive procedures, our board-certified gastroenterologists have begun incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into our procedures, particularly to enhance cancer detection capabilities. Above all, we care about improving lives, and continue to enhance our care practices for GERD, reflux and GI cancers so we can accomplish that.
GI cancer care
Our digestive specialists diagnose and treat a range of cancers of the GI tract, which includes cancers of the stomach, gallbladder, intestines, esophagus and anus. Regular screenings for colon cancer are encouraged if you are 45 to 75 years old, in order to catch it early when it's most treatable. If you experience a cancer diagnosis, our gastroenterologists collaborate with oncologists and surgeons to give you the most comprehensive treatment options available.
Heartburn, acid reflux and GERD treatment
Heartburn is a common GI condition, but when it becomes chronic, it can lead to more serious conditions, such as acid reflux and GERD. When caught early, we can avoid these complications and bring you relief from more painful symptoms. If your condition has progressed, our GI specialists may use radiofrequency ablation to ease your discomfort..
