Gastroenterology Services

Digestive health refers to the proper functioning of the digestive system, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, anus, and associated organs like the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. These organs work together to process the food you eat, absorb essential nutrients, and eliminate waste from your body. The digestive system plays a vital role in breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. When something goes wrong, it can lead to a range of symptoms and conditions that affect nutrition, energy levels, and overall health. Conditions like colorectal cancer, liver disease, or chronic digestive disorders can have serious health consequences, making gastroenterology essential for maintaining good health.

Digestive issues often come with pain and discomfort that can interfere with your daily life. The highly skilled gastroenterologists at Riverview Health can help get you back on track by providing comprehensive diagnostic services and treatment options for everything from acid reflux, gastrointestinal bleeding, gallstones, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases and constipation.
