Gastroenterology (Digestive Health)

Digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) diseases are common. In fact, about 60 to 70 million Americans are affected by a GI disorder, from ulcers, abdominal pain and heartburn to Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and colon cancer.

Our board-certified gastroenterologists and advanced practice providers who specialize in GI health deliver comprehensive care for conditions that affect the entire digestive tract. Dedicated to improving quality of life, this team diagnoses and treats GI disorders using a range of lab and imaging tests, including colonoscopy, endoscopy and pill camera procedures.

Holland Hospital Gastroenterology focuses on providing diagnostic and treatment options for many different issues impacting digestive health, such as: 

• Barrett’s esophagus
• Colon cancer screening of polyps
• Crohn’s disease
• Eosinophilic esophagitis
• Gallbladder disease
• Gastreoesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• GI cancers (including colon, pancreas and stomach)
• Gluten and food allergies
• Hepatitis
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Leaky gut
• Stomach ulcers 

Some of the tests and imaging procedures that are used to diagnose and treat these conditions include: 

• EGD (upper endoscopy)
• Colonoscopy
• Dilation
• Stents (bile duct, esophageal, colonic)
• BRAVO (a test to measure acidity in the esophagus)

Many of these tests and procedures are performed at the Holland Hospital Endoscopy Center, conveniently located at the hospital's main campus.  The center is a state-of-the-art facility with advanced technology designed to perform the latest diagnostic procedures and treatments in a private, comfortable setting.
