Gastroenterology

Patient age: 14 years and older

Gastroenterologists diagnose and treat disease of the entire digestive tract: esophagus, stomach, intestine, gallbladder, pancrea, colon, and rectum. Hepatology, a related specialty, evalutes and treats liver disease. Endoscopy is a valuable tool for evaluating and treating disorders. A small flexible tube is introduced into the digestive tract, allowing the physician to perform biopsies or other therapeutic procedures. Endoscopies are performed at Mount Nittany Medical Center. Our physicians also perform other diagnostic procedures to evaluate motility (movement of food through the tract) and malabsorption (poor use of the food by the system) disorders. Some of the disorders and conditions addressed within their department are:

• Ulcers
• Heartburn
• Hiatal hernia
• Esophageal reflux
• Hepatitis
• Cirrhosis of the liver
• Diverticulitis
• Crohn's Disease - a chronic inflammation in the small intestine
• Irritable bowel
• Diarrhea and constipation
• Hemorrhoids
• Polyps
