Digestive Care

Your digestive system helps you get the nutrients you need to help your body work well and keep you healthy. It includes the luminal organs of your digestive tract — mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon) and anus, along with your liver, pancreas and gallbladder.

Problems can develop in any of these organs causing a variety of symptoms. The symptoms may come on suddenly or develop more gradually. No matter what, they can be distressing.

If you have digestive symptoms that interfere with your quality of life, such as frequent gas, bloating or constipation, it's important to discuss them with your primary care provider. They can evaluate your symptoms and do diagnostic tests. They also can help you stay on track with screening tests, such as colonoscopy, which can find problems before you have symptoms. If necessary, they can refer you to one of our specialists.

If digestive symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea come on suddenly, but aren't severe, contact your provider or visit one of our urgent care locations.

When you’re having uncomfortable symptoms, you need answers. We provide you with the most up-to-date screening and diagnostic tools. Making a diagnosis quickly helps you receive quick treatment.
