Specialized Gastrointestinal Care:

Providing Prompt Diagnosis and Tailored Treatment for Complex Conditions

Our practice is designed and centered around taking care of patients with complex gastrointestinal conditions, ranging from chronic benign issues to patients diagnosed with a malignant condition.

All new referrals are reviewed promptly and follow ups, including ordering and scheduling additional testing, and clinic appointments are made based on the urgency of the diagnosis.

Many times we will contact you and schedule additional testing prior to your visit, in order to ensure that as much information as possible is available to make appropriate recommendations when you are seen.
