As leaders in their fields, our physicians are dedicated to using leading-edge endoscopic, diagnostic, and therapeutic technologies to achieve the best possible outcome for each and every one of our patients.
Esophageal Conditions We Treat
Our center brings the newest research and technologies together with personalized care to treat a wide range of conditions, including Barrett's esophagus, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), eosinophilic esophagitis, and motility disorders, as well as esophageal cancer and other tumors. Our gastroenterologists pioneered the management and treatment of Barrett's esophagus and early esophageal cancer.
Barrett's Esophagus
Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which the lining of the esophagus becomes abnormal, possibly due to acid reflux. Patients with Barrett's esophagus may or may not have symptoms of GERD but have a much higher risk of developing esophageal cancer.
Our state-of-the-art facility sees one of the country's largest volumes of Barrett's esophagus patients.
