Gastroenterology

Digestive and gastrointestinal issues can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. It helps to know that everyone experiences “tummy troubles” from time to time. However, sometimes those belly rumbles and cramps might be the cause of something more serious.

The digestive tract, which includes the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, esophagus, biliary tract, pancreas, liver, appendix and colon, can be a host to many different gastrointestinal disorders. And these disorders, like irritable bowel syndrome and gastroesophageal reflux disease, can range from mild to severe.
