The Basics of a Gastroenterologist You Must Know

Doctors focus on your parts which move/digest your food, absorb nutrients and remove waste. Gastroenterologists are able to treat medical conditions (esophagus, the stomach, the small gut and the large intestine) as well as the liver, the pancreas and the biliary system may influence the digestive system (gallbladder and bile ducts).

GI Doctors can evaluate symptoms without operation

To simply put, GI physicians help their patients feel better. You first assess the symptoms of your patients via consultation, and then you can take endoscopic procedures to further treat after diagnosing GI problems. Best gastroenterologists can perform colon cancer screenings along with treating the above mentioned diseases (also known as colonoscopies). GI doctors work in various kinds of medical environments, including group practices, hospitals, individuals and ambulatories.

Trained and certified gastroenterologists, after they graduate from high school, are required to complete specialist training for at least 13 years. This includes a four-year bachelor degree, four years of medical or graduate school and a three-year internship. All doctors at our clinic are certified as gastroenterology board and have a fellowship training program which means they have spent 2-3 years studying gastrointestinal disease-specific patients. This comprises a detailed endoscopy training, a non-surgical procedure that enables gastroenterologists to check the GI tract. They also treat constipation, ulcers, liver disease, diarrhea, gall bladder issues and more.

In order to ensure they are up to date with the latest medical technologies and breakthroughs, each physician has to receive annual medical continuous (CME) credit each year.

While gastroenterologists most like to work in their clinical environment, some are also involved in clinical research by means of clinical trials, results observation and results published.
