Gastroenterology
Say goodbye to digestive problems
Gastroenterology is the study of the digestive system and its disorders. Gastroenterologists are doctors who specialize in gastroenterology, diagnosing, and treating conditions affecting the esophagus (the tube that connects your throat to your stomach), stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.
Getting the right care for your digestive system is important. Finding and treating problems early can improve your health and well-being. Untreated problems like heartburn, stomach pain, and liver diseases can get worse over time.
