Patient Care: Division of Gastroenterology
The gastrointestinal (GI) system is an extensive network of tubes and specialized organs that allow us to digest our food, remove nutrients and dispose of waste. Yet because of its complexity and the foreign matter we ingest every day, the system is susceptible to problems. Nearly 70 million Americans suffer from gastrointestinal disorders, which are responsible for the hospitalization of more people in this country than any other group of diseases.
At Georgetown’s Division of Gastroenterology, we offer physician expertise in each aspect of this intricate system. From screening and diagnosis to advanced treatment and research, our GI department is nationally recognized for providing the highest level of quality care.
