Gastroenterology
If you've ever had an upset stomach or a case of heartburn, you know how painful digestive problems can be. But the digestive system is made up of more than just the stomach. Other organs, like the small intestine and the colon, are also part of the digestive system. If you're experiencing a problem with any of these organs, turn to the gastroenterology specialists across our health system for expert care and treatment of various common and uncommon gastrointestinal conditions. The team of board-certified gastroenterologists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners will develop a diagnostic and treatment plan that takes into consideration meeting your goals for improved gastrointestinal health.

Most patients who have RFA recover quickly and return to daily activities within a couple of days.
