Although other physicians can perform similar gastrointestinal procedures and help identify digestive problems, they do not have the same expertise in detection as a Gastroenterologist.
Finding the right physician for your digestive disorder is vital. Even the most sophisticated diagnostic tools may fail to correctly diagnose a disease or condition. That is why the physicians of Digestive Health Specialists feel it is so important to trust your health to a team of superbly trained experts that provide lasting relief to hundreds of adults living with digestive problems.
"Studies have shown that Gastroenterologists perform higher quality colonoscopy examination and comprehensive consultation services when compared to other physicians. This translates into more accurate detection of polyps and cancer by colonoscopy when performed by Gastroenterologists, fewer complications from procedures, and fewer days in the hospital for many gastrointestinal conditions managed by trained gastroenterology specialists."
-The American College of Gastroenterology
Frequently, Gastroenterologists are called to help diagnose other physicians' cases when the analysis is unclear or where specialized diagnostic procedures are necessary. Gastroenterologists perform procedures such as liver biopsy and endoscopic ("scope") examinations of the esophagus, stomach, and small and large bowel. Many times the Gastroenterologist works hand-in-hand with surgeons before and after an operation in helping select the best surgical procedure for a particular patient and in providing follow-up care relevant to the particular digestive disorder.
