Why Upper Darby patients choose our gastro team
Choosing a gastroenterology practice is about more than convenience, though a manageable drive certainly helps. It is about trusting the people who will guide your care. Our board-certified specialists handle a wide spectrum of digestive and liver concerns, backed by an accredited endoscopy center and modern testing options including Bravo pH Testing, Small Bowel PillCam Endoscopy, and GI Genius technology that improves detection during colonoscopy. We treat GERD and Barrett's esophagus, IBS and SIBO, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, gastritis and H. pylori, gallstones and pancreatic disease, hepatitis and fatty liver, and hemorrhoids. Our Next Day GI service means urgent concerns do not sit in a queue for weeks, and integrative nutrition support is available for patients whose symptoms respond to dietary change. We treat each person as an individual, not a chart number, taking the time to listen and to explain what we find in plain language. That blend of advanced technology and genuine attention is why patients keep coming back and sending their families our way.
Frequently asked questions
What conditions does your Gastroenterology treat?
Our gastroenterologists specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of digestive health issues, from common conditions like acid reflux (GERD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to chronic diseases such as Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. We also manage symptoms that might seem less urgent but can significantly impact your quality of life, including constipation, bloating, indigestion, and other digestive discomforts. Additionally, we provide preventive care through screenings like colonoscopies to help catch problems early.
What should I expect during my first visit?
During your first visit, you'll meet with one of our board-certified gastroenterologists who will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms in detail, and perform a physical examination if needed. Based on this, we may recommend diagnostic tests or develop a personalized treatment plan to address your concerns and improve your digestive health.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
We understand that digestive concerns can't wait. That's why we strive to schedule most new patient appointments as soon as the same week, and no later than one to two weeks, depending on availability.
