Gastroenterology
Gastroenterologists are specialists who care for patients with gastrointestinal disorders as well as conditions affecting the liver, biliary system and pancreas. They provide consultation and follow up of patients with these conditions in conjunction with a primary care provider or General Practitioner. Gastroenterologists perform Endoscopy, which involves examination of the gastrointestinal tract via the mouth or rectum, enabling diagnosis of your presenting symptoms, as well as minimally invasive non-surgical treatment of some of these conditions.
