Appointments

Valley’s Center for Digestive Health brings together a team of gastrointestinal (GI) and colorectal surgical experts who collaborate to address conditions of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, liver and pancreas — all under one roof. 

This team approach gives patients comprehensive and coordinated care, including conveniences such as same-day visits with multiple specialists.

The Valley Approach to Digestive Health

Our team — which includes double-board-certified gastroenterologists, pediatric gastroenterologists, colorectal surgeons, nurse practitioners and dietitians — is committed to providing exceptional care of patients with all types of digestive diseases. 

Our physicians believe forming strong partnerships with their patients yields the best results. That’s why they take extra measures to ensure you can reach them directly with questions and concerns, and that they’re available to follow up with you in person should you require surgery, endoscopic procedure or another treatment.
