Symptoms deserve answers, not dismissal.
A gastroenterologist specializes in diseases of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and colon. Whatever brings you in, my goal is to find the underlying cause, not just quiet the symptom.
Common concerns, thoughtful evaluation
Digestive symptoms should never be dismissed as simply “part of getting older” or something you have to live with.
Heartburn & GERD
Frequent heartburn, regurgitation, chronic cough, or hoarseness. Left untreated, GERD can lead to esophagitis, strictures, and Barrett's esophagus, proper evaluation matters.
Bloating, Gas & IBS
Persistent bloating isn't always “just gas”, food intolerances, IBS, SIBO, celiac disease, and motility disorders all deserve consideration.
Constipation & Diarrhea
Changes in bowel habits, straining, urgency, or stools that never feel complete. Treatment should never be one-size-fits-all.
Bleeding & Anemia
Blood in the stool, black stools, or iron deficiency anemia should always be evaluated, never assumed to be “just hemorrhoids.”
Difficulty Swallowing
Food sticking, painful swallowing, or a sensation of blockage can signal inflammation, strictures, or motility disorders, and should always be evaluated.
IBD & Celiac Disease
Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and celiac disease, accurate diagnosis and modern, evidence-based management.
Persistent Abdominal Pain
Ongoing pain deserves a careful history and a targeted workup, in many cases, a careful conversation is as important as any test.
Colon Cancer Screening
Screening and surveillance colonoscopy beginning at age 45 for average-risk adults, earlier with family history or other risk factors.
