Why Gastroenterology Matters
The gastrointestinal (GI) system plays a vital role in overall health, affecting digestion, nutrient absorption, and long-term wellness. Gastroenterologists specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions of the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and more. Regular screenings and timely treatment are key to preventing complications and catching concerns like colorectal cancer early.
Our Gastroenterology Services
At St. Mary’s Gastroenterology Associates, we provide comprehensive GI care, including:
- Colonoscopy – A highly effective screening tool for colorectal cancer and polyps, while also helping to diagnose causes of bleeding, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits.
- Upper Endoscopy (EGD) – Used to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine to investigate symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, chronic heartburn, ulcers, and unexplained abdominal pain.
Our team also evaluates and manages a wide range of digestive conditions, including GERD, IBS, Celiac disease, liver disease, food intolerances, and more.
