Gastrointestinal diseases we treat include:
- Appendicitis: Inflammation of the appendix

- Diverticulitis: Outpouchings of the large intestine that become inflamed
- Gallstones: Stones of hardened digestive fluid form inside your gallbladder and disrupt normal function
- Hemorrhoids: Swollen blood vessels in the rectum or anus that may cause discomfort or bleeding
- Hernias: Bulging out of the intestines through an abnormal hole in the abdominal wall
- Intestinal perforation: Abnormal opening in the digestive tract that allows fluids to leak out
- Ulcers: Sores in the lining of the stomach or small intestine due to stomach acid

We use leading techniques to remove cancerous growths.
