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 disorders of the digestive system. They are highly knowledgeable of the entire digestive tract as well as the liver, pancreas and gallbladder.
At the AdventHealth Digestive Institute Tampa, 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 it is used to examine many gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. Some disorders can also be treated through endoscopy. AdventHealth Digestive Institute Tampa gastroenterologists are trained in these non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments.
Finding the Ideal Treatment
Before surgery is even considered, most digestive conditions are treated with medicine or outpatient procedures. However, if surgery is needed, our gastroenterologists and surgeons work closely together to coordinate care for each patient. Whether a patient needs a minor procedure or a major surgery, our gastroenterologists and surgeons are able to 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 on a somewhat regular basis. This follow-up care helps ensure the digestive condition has been properly treated.
