Conditions We Treat

7 Conditions

Anorectal Diseases

Common anorectal conditions including hemorrhoids, fissure, and abscess. A comprehensive evaluation is performed to diagnose these conditions. Most patients can undergo in-office treatment using medications and/or hemorrhoidal banding (if needed). Outpatient, limited surgery using newer minimally invasive techniques is possible for other patients.

Gallstones

Gallstones form in the gallbladder, a small organ under the liver, from an excess of cholesterol and bilirubin in the digestive fluid (bile) that is stored there. Gallstones can be “silent” – meaning no pain and usually no treatment, or cause pain and other symptoms as they enter the ducts to the small intestine. Increased risk for gallstones is associated with obesity, diabetes and a diet high in cholesterol or fat. Gallstones are treated with surgery and medication, depending on the severity.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

What is Gastroesophageal Reflux? When you normally swallow, food and drink travel down your esophagus and into your stomach, after passing through the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which is the normal anatomic valve between the esophagus and stomach. The LES relaxes to allow food and liquid to pass into the stomach. The normal LES then tightens again to minimize reflux of fluid and food into the esophagus from the stomach. When the valve or LES is incompetent, GERD develops.
