Our gastroenterology-trained physicians can help you learn about digestive diseases, diagnoses, and effective treatment options. Gastroenterology focuses on diagnosing and treating digestive conditions that involve the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

Gastroenterology procedures performed at St. Joseph's Outpatient Surgery Center:

• EGD – Upper digestive tract screening
• Colonoscopy
• Sigmoidoscopy

The American Cancer Society recently changed its recommended age for first colon screening for average-risk patients from 50 to 45. This change was made, in large part, due to the rise in colorectal cancer incidence rates in younger populations over the past few years.

Our physicians evaluate and treat many types of digestive problems, ranging from severe to simple, but sensitive in nature, including:

• GERD/acid reflux
• Crohn’s disease
• Ulcerative colitis
• Colon cancer
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Celiac disease
• Constipation/diarrhea
• Swallowing disorders
