Digestive diseases vary from common problems such as GERD to rare
inherited liver diseases that cause a dangerous buildup of copper or
iron in the liver. Some diseases need life-long treatment. Others,
including certain cancers, may be cured or even prevented. Our
physicians manage all forms of digestive disease, providing services
ranked among the region’s best by U.S. News & World Report.
At Lankenau Medical Center, patients living with or at risk for
digestive disease benefit from the combined expertise of specialists in
gastroenterology, hepatology (liver disease), interventional endoscopy,
surgery, diagnostic and interventional radiology, radiation and medical
oncology, pathology, and cancer genetics. Our physician
team is experienced in applying screening, diagnostic, and treatment
strategies typically available only in the most advanced medical
centers.
Board-certified gastroenterologists and surgeons form the core of the
team, working with other specialists as needed to ensure a comprehensive
and coordinated approach to evaluation, diagnosis, treatment planning,
and ongoing care. Cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and cirrhosis are
just a few examples of diseases managed using a multidisciplinary
approach. Meet our physician
team.
