Gastroenterologists

Gastroenterologists are specialized doctors who diagnose and treat conditions related to the digestive system, which includes your stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. They handle issues like acid reflux, ulcers, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and hepatitis. These doctors perform procedures such as endoscopies—using a flexible tube with a camera to view inside your digestive tract—and conduct tests to identify problems. Their goal is to improve digestion, manage symptoms, and maintain overall gastrointestinal health through medical treatments, lifestyle advice, and sometimes surgical interventions.
