Types of gastroenterology care we provide
Using a multidisciplinary approach, we are equipped to address both simple and complex GI issues. We were the first Texas hospital to earn a three-year accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer, and were only fourteenth in the nation to do so. The accreditation is the gold standard for the advancement of rectal cancer care, the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the U.S. These accreditations are reflections of the comprehensive care we offer in service of helping you live free of GI pain and discomfort.
Diagnostic imaging services
We utilize numerous imaging tests and procedures to diagnose GI disorders and form the foundation of your personalized treatment plan. These include:
- Colonoscopies
- Endoscopies
- Flexible sigmoidoscopies
GI surgical care
Dietary modifications, lifestyle changes and medication can help some GI conditions, such as GERD. However, sometimes surgery is the best solution. We offer a range of colorectal surgical procedures performed by board-certified colorectal surgeons. Whenever possible, our surgeons utilize minimally invasive procedures, which result in minimal scarring, faster recoveries and shorter hospital stays.
Rehabilitative care
At our hospital, you have access to physical therapy and rehabilitation services for disorders, such as bowel and pelvic floor dysfunction. Our physical therapists provide personalized care to improve your quality of life and help with any uncomfortable symptoms you may be experiencing.
