Managing Your Condition and Living Life to the Fullest

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term for certain chronic disorders that cause inflammation of the digestive tract. Comprised primarily of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, IBD is a relapsing condition that occurs in individuals of all ages, races and genders.

While there is no known cure for inflammatory bowel disease, great strides have been made in drug development, diagnostic testing and relapse prevention. If you’re diagnosed with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, you need a care plan that focuses not only on controlling the immediate symptoms, but also on maintaining your quality of life over the long term.

With enormous variations in how ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease symptoms present and how the disease progresses, every patient experiences IBD differently. That’s why we’re committed to working with you to develop a treatment plan designed to meet your specific needs, address your individual concerns and help you reach your personal goals.

Surgical Consultations For Digestive Cancer Without The Wait

Appointments Within Seven Days for Patients with Cancer

At AdventHealth Digestive Institute, we know that after being diagnosed with cancer, patients want and often need to begin treatment quickly. So we make it a priority to offer appointments for cancer surgery consultations within five business days, and often earlier.

Patients who are newly diagnosed with cancer, or have just found out they have cancer again, qualify for this priority access. Our surgeons will make themselves available to see you right away, even for a second opinion. We want to help you start your treatment as soon as possible.
