Top Conditions We Treat
Our gastroenterology team evaluates and treats a broad range of gastrointestinal conditions. Each condition below links to a detailed Clinical Patient Journey outlining symptoms, diagnostic testing, treatment options, and recovery expectations.
GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
Chronic acid reflux may cause heartburn, regurgitation, chest discomfort, or throat irritation. Our specialists use advanced diagnostic testing and tailored treatment plans, including lifestyle modification, medication therapy, and minimally invasive procedures, to control symptoms and prevent complications such as Barrett’s esophagus.
Peptic Ulcer Disease
Peptic ulcers of the stomach or duodenum are commonly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or prolonged NSAID use. Diagnosis is confirmed through endoscopy, and treatment includes antibiotics, acid suppression therapy, and follow-up care to promote healing and prevent recurrence.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. We help patients identify dietary triggers, manage stress, and control symptoms through nutritional guidance, medication, and gut–brain–focused therapies.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic inflammatory conditions that can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fatigue. Our gastroenterologists use colonoscopy, imaging, and laboratory testing to guide treatment with biologic therapy, immunomodulators, and surgical coordination when necessary.
Hepatitis
Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver caused by viral infection, autoimmune disease, or medication-related injury. We provide comprehensive evaluation, antiviral therapy when appropriate, and ongoing monitoring to prevent disease progression and preserve liver function.
Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis is advanced liver scarring resulting from chronic liver disease, alcohol-related injury, or metabolic conditions. Our team manages complications such as ascites, encephalopathy, and variceal bleeding while coordinating transplant evaluation and long-term supportive care.
Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis occurs when the pancreas becomes inflamed, often due to gallstones, alcohol use, or metabolic causes. We provide coordinated inpatient and outpatient management focused on symptom relief, inflammation control, and prevention of chronic pancreatic damage.
Gallbladder Disease
Gallstones and gallbladder inflammation commonly cause right upper abdominal pain, nausea, and digestive discomfort. Diagnosis is typically made through ultrasound imaging, and treatment may include medical management or referral for surgical intervention.
Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Bleeding from ulcers, varices, diverticulosis, or other GI sources may present with black stools, vomiting blood, or unexplained anemia. Our gastroenterologists use endoscopy and minimally invasive techniques to identify and treat the source safely and effectively.
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer often develops from precancerous polyps and may present with bleeding, anemia, or changes in bowel habits. We emphasize early detection through screening colonoscopy and provide coordinated care involving surgery, oncology, and targeted therapies.
Hemorrhoid Treatment
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus that can cause itching, pain, discomfort, or rectal bleeding. Our team offers accurate evaluation and individualized treatment plans including dietary guidance, medical therapy, and minimally invasive in-office procedures.
Swallowing Disorders
Swallowing disorders such as achalasia and esophageal motility conditions are evaluated using high-resolution manometry, wireless pH monitoring, and advanced endoscopic functional luminal imaging to guide precise diagnosis and treatment.
