Gastroenterology and You

Gastroenterology is a branch of medicine that works specifically with the digestive system and the liver. This includes conditions that affect the esophagus, stomach, intestines, pancreas and gallbladder. At Surgery Center Of Melbourne, our gastroenterologists have undergone years of specialized training to diagnose and treat conditions such as heartburn, colon polyps and cancer, colitis, hepatitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), pancreatitis and much more.

If you're having issues with your liver or digestive system, it may be time to visit a gastroenterologist. Put your health in the hands of a trusted specialist who will walk with you on the path to better health. Simply fill out the form to request an appointment, and a member of our care team will be in touch to find a time that's convenient for you.

Preventing Colon Cancer

One common screening that our gastroenterologists perform is a colonoscopy. It's estimated that 60 to 90 percent of colon cancer deaths could be prevented if everyone over 50 got a colonoscopy. It's the only screening exam that not only checks for cancer but also treats it by removing cancerous polyps.

Not sure if a colonoscopy is right for you at this point? Take our free online health assessment to find out. By answering a few simple questions, we can identify your potential risk for colon cancer so you can make the best choice for your health.
