Physicians and Patients Choose Memorial Digestive Health For Quality Care

Memorial Digestive Health offers solutions for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive disease and disorders. The providers on our Medical Staff are trained in gastroenterology, cancers of the digestive system, colon and rectal disease, and weight management.

A Digestive Health Navigator is available to work with patients from physician referral through diagnosis, treatment and surgery. We strive to send the patient back to their referring physician for ongoing care. Because of the well-rounded diagnosis and treatment options, care is coordinated with the patient and his or her primary physician.

Memorial Digestive Health consists of highly qualified physicians, technicians and surgeons who are trained in many techniques to diagnose and treat chronic digestive disorders. The care team is equipped with advanced technology if surgery is necessary.
