What conditions does a gastroenterologist treat?
A gastroenterologist diagnoses and treats disorders involving the digestive system, including GERD, gastritis, stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, gallbladder disorders, pancreatic disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, colorectal conditions, and digestive symptoms requiring specialized evaluation.
When should I have a colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy is commonly recommended for colorectal cancer screening beginning at the appropriate age or earlier for individuals with increased risk factors. It may also be recommended to investigate rectal bleeding, unexplained anemia, chronic diarrhea, changes in bowel habits, or persistent abdominal symptoms.

Yes. Patients considering gastrointestinal surgery often benefit from a second opinion to confirm the diagnosis, review imaging or endoscopic findings, discuss non-surgical treatment options, and better understand the risks and expected outcomes before proceeding.
