Your Long-Term Partner in Caring for Digestive Disorders
Care for any digestive condition usually begins with a specialist called a gastroenterologist. Also called GI doctors, gastroenterologists are physicians with extra training in digestive system disorders. They are highly knowledgeable of the entire digestive tract, including the liver, pancreas and gallbladder.
At the AdventHealth Digestive Health Institute, our gastroenterologists are highly experienced. Many are fellowship-trained or double board-certified in gastroenterology and another medical specialty, and most have extra training in advanced endoscopy. Endoscopy involves using a narrow tube to see inside the digestive tract and examine many gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. Some disorders can also be treated through endoscopy. AdventHealth Digestive Health Institute gastroenterologists are trained in these nonsurgical and minimally invasive treatments with your whole health in mind.
Gastroenterology Conditions and Treatments
Before surgery is even considered, most digestive conditions are treated with medicine or outpatient procedures. But if surgery is needed, our gastroenterologists and surgeons work closely to coordinate care for each patient. Whether patients need a minor procedure or a major surgery, our gastroenterologists and surgeons can provide it in the least invasive way possible. This makes patients’ recoveries faster and easier, so they can get back to their normal lives sooner. After their procedure or surgery, some patients may continue to see their gastroenterologist regularly. This follow-up care helps ensure the digestive condition has been properly treated.
