A gastroenterologist specializes in the digestive system, from the esophagus to the intestines, including the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
They diagnose and treat both common complaints (reflux, gastritis) and chronic digestive conditions.
The gastroenterologist reviews your symptoms, eating habits, and family history.
Depending on your case, they may recommend tests like an endoscopy or colonoscopy — procedures that let them see directly inside the digestive tract — or lab work.
Based on the results, they'll explain the diagnosis and a treatment plan, which may include dietary changes, medication, or, in some cases, a procedure.
Already been advised to get an endoscopy or colonoscopy? Message us on WhatsApp to schedule.
