Depending on your perspective and health status, consuming food can be a delightful experience, or simply one of life’s necessities. But for those with digestive disorders, the pleasure of eating can turn into a painful experience. The digestive disease specialists (gastroenterologists) at Providence Holy Cross and Providence Saint Joseph Medical Centers use state-of-the-art technology to offer a broad spectrum of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to enhance the lives of people living with digestive diseases and disorders—including those affecting esophagus, stomach and small intestine), as well as the colon (large intestine), gallbladder, liver, pancreas and rectum. In fact, our specialists perform more GI procedures in laboratories at our facilities than are performed at laboratories in any other hospital in the San Fernando Valley. That’s important, because medical research confirms that experience is strongly associated with better outcomes. |
