How we help
The MultiCare digestive health team, composed of gastroenterologists, surgeons and nutritionists, specializes in evaluating and treating diseases of the entire digestive system. This includes disorders of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, liver, pancreas and bile ducts.
Diagnosing your condition is the first step in getting you the care you need. State-of-the-art endoscopy centers offer the latest equipment and advanced diagnostic imaging technology. These detailed images and procedures help your provider make the most accurate diagnosis possible.
Together, you’ll work with your care team to create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and digestive condition. This may include lifestyle changes, medication or surgery.
If your treatment requires surgery, rest assured our highly skilled surgeons use minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery, for shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times.
In addition to our comprehensive digestive health services, we partner with MultiCare’s cancer program for treatment of colorectal, gastroesophogeal, and hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers.
