Partnering with you to improve gut health and promote good nutrition
The food you eat travels through a complex and finely tuned digestive system. But sometimes digestive tracts don’t not work the way we wish, producing discomfort and troublesome symptoms.
Our gastroenterology team at Maimonides provides comprehensive care for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive disorders, including issues with the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, gallbladder, pancreas and liver. While patient care is our primary focus, our gastrointestinal (GI) doctors also place a strong emphasis on patient education and research on improving gut health.
