Gastroenterologist

A gastroenterologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the digestive system, which includes the stomach, intestines, liver, and gallbladder. They address issues like heartburn, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, and liver diseases. These specialists often perform procedures such as endoscopies to look inside the digestive tract and may provide treatment recommendations, lifestyle changes, or medications to improve gastrointestinal health. Gastroenterologists play a crucial role in managing both acute and chronic digestive problems, helping patients maintain overall digestive well-being.
