After completing college
and medical school, a gastroenterologist receives
three years of training in internal medicine and
an additional two to three years of specialized
training in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases
of the digestive system, including the esophagus,
stomach, small and large intestines (colon), liver,
pancreas, and gall bladder. All of our physicians
are certified by the American Board of Internal
Medicine and have fulfilled the requirements for
the subspecialty Board of Gastroenterology.

A complete gastrointestinal evaluation usually involves
an interview, physical examination, and specialized studies
such as x-rays and/or other imaging studies. Endoscopic
procedures involve the passage of flexible lighted instruments
to inspect the inside of the digestive tract. Endoscopic
procedures may be used to remove polyps, dilate strictures,
stop internal bleeding, or remove stones from the bile
duct.
Our patients are usually referred to us by another physician
or provider for a specific evaluation or treatment. When
this is completed, we will correspond with that physician
or provider, summarizing our findings and recommendations.
We may assume care of a specific digestive problem, but
we will usually refer you back to your physician or provider
for ongoing care. We see adult patients 18 and older.
All of our doctors are on the staff of Saint Alphonsus
Regional Medical Center, St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center,
and St. Luke’s Meridian Medical Center. |
