Gastroenterology

The Division of Gastroenterology is providing the community with excellent clinical care in addressing gastrointestinal and liver diseases. All our faculty members are board-certified. There are also two state-of-the-art endoscopy centers that are equipped with the latest technologies. More than 13,000 procedures were performed in 2023. Advanced endoscopic procedures—including ERCP, EUS, capsule endoscopy, balloon enteroscopy, high-resolution manometry, and anoscopy—are available.

“We perform life-saving endoscopic procedures and take pride in being a major center for preventing and detecting colorectal cancer at an early stage."

—Dr. Bhavna Balar, Chief, Division of Gastroenterology

Dr. Balar and her team, in conjunction with the Department of Surgery, are also actively involved in an important cancer prevention and treatment initiative through a new Center for Colorectal and Gastrointestinal Health. Patients with chronic liver disease are also cared for in an outpatient practice.
