Gastroenterology focuses on diagnosing and treating digestive symptoms and diseases, including disorders of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas and gallbladder. For example:
Gastric reflux disease (heart burn)
Stomach ulcers
Crohn’s disease
Ulcerative colitis
Difficulty swallowing
St. Mary’s gastroenterologists also offer screening colonoscopies if you have a family history of colon cancer or if you are over age 50. We perform colonoscopies (lower intestinal tract) and gastroscopies (upper intestinal tract) at St. Mary’s Hospital.
