FAQs
FAQs About the Practice What is a Gastroenterologist? A gastroenterologist is a physician who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive and liver diseases. To be a fully-credentialed gastroenterologist, a physician must complete an additional fellowship training beyond their general internal medicine residency.
Endoscopy and Colonoscopy Procedures
Just as essential to your digestive health is preventive care. Diagnostic procedures, like endoscopy and colonoscopy, are excellent ways to detect gastrointestinal issues—often even before you have symptoms. At The Hospitals of Providence, our diagnostic procedures are performed in a hospital setting by digestive physicians to help ensure optimal patient safety and comfort.
Also, as part of our ongoing commitment to provide advanced diagnostic services, we are pleased to announce the acquisition of an advanced endoscopic ultrasound system. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) combines endoscopic procedures with ultrasound technology to evaluate the gastrointestinal organs, obtain biopsies using minimally invasive techniques, and detect complicated pancreatic and biliary problems.
An EUS procedure can confirm certain medical conditions not visible in conventional endoscopy and can provide additional information to CT scanning and MRI.
