WHY SEE A GASTROENTEROLOGIST?
A gastroenterologist is a physician who has specialized training and experience in managing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The unique training and experience of a gastroenterologist allows them to provide high-quality, comprehensive care for patients with gastrointestinal conditions. Studies have shown that gastroenterologists perform higher-quality colonoscopies and provide more comprehensive care for gastrointestinal conditions than other physicians. This translates to more accurate detection of polyps and cancer, fewer complications from procedures, less time in the hospital for patients treated by gastrointestinal specialists and overall higher-quality of care for patients with gastrointestinal conditions.
