Digestive Health
If you’re living with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms such as abdominal pain, chronic heartburn, bloating or ongoing constipation, digestive health at Providence St. Patrick Hospital can help. Our experienced gastroenterology team will get to the source of your symptoms so you can get treatment and start feeling better soon.
We offer state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures and treatments, including advanced endoscopy, which allows us to see inside your body using a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the tip. Special tools that we pass through the tube also allow us to offer minimally invasive therapies to address your GI symptoms.
We treat problems affecting the esophagus, stomach, intestine, colon, liver, pancreas and biliary system. But first and foremost, we treat you. We ensure that you are fully informed, involved in your treatment plan and receiving the care that’s best for your unique health and symptoms.
