What is a Gastroenterologist ?

Gastroenterologists are specialized internists with subspecialty training in conditions of the gastroeintestinal system. This includes all of the organs and structures involved in eating and digesting food, from the mouth to the anus.

Gastroenterologists are trained to treat a wide range of diseases and disorders of the GI tract, such as heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gallstones, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastrointestinal cancers, among other disorders. To diagnose patients with a GI condition, gastroenterologists may utilize a variety of techniques and procedures, including colonoscopy, biopsy, esophageal dilation and endoscopy, among other diagnostic procedures.

After arriving at a diagnosis, gastroenterologists create personalized treatment and management plans that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual patient. This will often include suggestions regarding diet and exercise regimens, medication management, and in some cases, surgery.
