Why Choose Us?
Each year 62 million Americans are diagnosed with digestive disorders, ranging from the occasional upset stomach to the more life-threatening colon cancer. Gastrointestinal and liver problems can interfere with your daily routine, cause embarrassing symptoms and indicate serious medical conditions. Unfortunately, these conditions can be difficult to diagnose without advanced technology, sub-specialty training and attentive listening skills.
The experienced gastroenterologists and hepatologists at Georgia Regents Medical Center understand the problems you face. We take the time to uncover the underlying cause of even complex disorders and treat them effectively. That's why we serve as a regional referral center for physicians throughout the area.
