Gastroenterology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the digestive system (esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas).
My consultations usually involve taking a detailed history of the patient’s symptoms, a physical examination and designing a plan that may include the prescription of additional tests (some performed in the my office), blood tests and medications. We encourage a discussion about the patient’s possible diagnosis and provide guidance for life style changes that might be favorable. The objective is always to control the symptoms with a minimum of medication. The integration of complementary medicine is also the subject of my attention.
