Our Gastroenterology Services

• And, much more

You may require our gastroenterology services if you are experiencing any signs or symptoms of the following GI disorders:

• Acid reflux, heartburn, or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)
• Cancer of the colon, pancreas, liver, etc.
• Celiac disease
• Crohn’s disease

If you are experiencing abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, or noticing blood in your stool, you should make an appointment with our gastroenterology specialist who can determine – or rule out – a GI condition as the cause of your symptoms.

If you are at increased risk for colorectal cancer, you may need to begin screening earlier and be screened more often. Risk factors include:

• Family history of colorectal cancer
• Personal history of colorectal cancer or certain types of polyps
• Personal history of inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease)
• Prior history of radiation to the abdomen or pelvic area to treat a prior cancer

If you have any of the above risk factors, it's critically important to schedule a screening colonoscopy. No referral is necessary to receive a screening – all you need to do is call us to schedule one at (330) 202-5686.
