Welcome to Arizona Gastroenterology Clinic where we specialize in the treatment of diseases of the digestive system and liver. The subspecialty of Gastroenterology and Hepatology focuses on disorders of the digestive tract which include the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Disorders of the digestive tract are one of the most common reasons for physician visits and are often the most difficult to diagnose.
Our team is committed to the highest level of care for every patient who comes to us for relief. Your health is our top priority. We take pride in our fine staff and facilities, which provide state-of-the-art medical care and treatment of gastrointestinal and liver disease. Our qualified staff is friendly and will ensure a pleasant visit.
One of the goals of our website is to provide helpful information to our patients, their families and the physicians who refer patients to us. As you navigate through the site you will find a wealth of information about digestive ailments (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Irritable bowel syndrome, Inflammatory bowel disease, Diverticulosis, Hepatitis), available treatments, endoscopic procedures (colonoscopy, upper endoscopy) and educational videos.
