About Gastroenterology

An occasional stomachache is nothing to be concerned about, but recurring issues means you should seek medical attention. Gastroenterology focuses on conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the stomach, esophagus, bowels (large intestine, small intestine, colon and rectum), pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts and liver. The trusted, dedicated gastroenterology specialists at Garnet Health specialize in the management of these conditions. They have the sophisticated technology, equipment and training to diagnose and treat a comprehensive range of diseases affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
