Physicians who have specialized in treating the gastrointestinal and digestive systems within the body are known as gastroenterologists. An experienced gastroenterologist can offer comprehensive care for issues affecting the pancreas, liver, gall bladder, stomach, bile ducts, intestines, and esophagus. Our specialists are board-certified to offer consultation and support for a wide range of conditions and can perform endoscopic procedures including colonoscopies. Gastroenterologists have undergone a minimum of 13 years of education in addition to extensive specialized training in order to ensure they fully understand how to best support patients with a wide range of GI concerns and illnesses. We offer diagnosis, treatment, and lifestyle support for patients with a wide range of digestive issues and concerns.

You may decide it is time to see a gastroenterologist if you experience recurrent or unexplained abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea, gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or unexpected weight loss. Diseases of the colon such as polyps, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colitis, and Crohn’s disease can also be addressed by a gastroenterologist. We also provide support for patients with liver disease including hepatitis and jaundice, pancreatitis, diverticulitis, and bacterial infections. Our goal at Vanguard Gastroenterology is to help all of our patients overcome uncomfortable or painful digestive issues and chronic diseases, so they can enjoy a healthier life filled with their favorite foods and without enduring pain or gastrointestinal discomfort.

Gastroenterologists are not surgeons, but they can work closely with a surgeon if your condition requires intervention. Gastroenterologists can perform colonoscopies, upper GI endoscopies, abdominal angiograms, and endoscopic or abdominal ultrasound for diagnostic purposes. X-rays and CT scans can also provide your GI doctor with important information that will help them properly diagnose your condition, so you receive the right treatment. At Vanguard Gastroenterology, we believe in working closely with our patients to understand their symptoms and develop a treatment protocol that is tailored to their body’s unique needs. We understand how important your digestive health is to your overall well-being and comfort, so you can trust us to provide the ongoing care and support you need to overcome your symptoms and feel better.
