As part of the digestive system, issues can arise in various organs such as the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, and pancreas. Gastroenterologists utilize a spectrum of diagnostic tools, including blood tests, stool analysis, imaging techniques, and endoscopy (a procedure that allows visualization of the digestive tract using a camera).

Ulcers are sores that develop in the lining of the stomach or small intestine, causing symptoms such as epigastric pain, heartburn, and nausea. Our gastroenterologists employ various treatment options tailored to the underlying cause, including medications like proton pump inhibitors and, in severe cases, surgical intervention.

Gastritis refers to inflammation of the stomach lining. Acute gastritis often results from infection or excessive alcohol consumption, whereas chronic gastritis may be related to autoimmune disorders or bacterial infections like Helicobacter pylori. We offer personalized treatment plans involving medications to reduce inflammation and manage the underlying cause.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common functional disorder that affects the large intestine. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, and altered bowel habits.

General surgery is a diverse field dedicated to treating a wide range of abdominal and non-cardiac thoracic conditions. It encompasses procedures that require a deep understanding of the human anatomy and surgical techniques.

One common procedure performed by general surgeons is abdominal hernia repair. Hernias occur when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weakened area of the abdominal wall. General surgeons can repair hernias using various techniques, including open surgery and laparoscopic surgery.

Another common procedure is appendectomy, the surgical removal of the appendix. The appendix is a small, finger-shaped organ attached to the large intestine. When the appendix becomes inflamed, it can cause severe pain and discomfort. Appendectomy is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed laparoscopically or through open surgery.

Gallbladder removal, also known as cholecystectomy, is another common procedure performed by general surgeons. The gallbladder is a small organ that stores bile, a fluid that helps digest fats. When the gallbladder becomes inflamed or develops gallstones, it can cause pain and other symptoms. Cholecystectomy is typically performed laparoscopically.

In addition to these common procedures, general surgeons also treat a variety of other conditions, including:

• Abdominal wall hernias

As the twilight of life approaches, the challenges of end-of-life care can be overwhelming. Hospice care emerges as a beacon of comfort and support, offering a holistic approach to alleviate the physical, emotional, and spiritual burdens associated with this journey.

At the heart of hospice care lies palliative care, a philosophy that prioritizes the relief of suffering. Through holistic treatment plans, hospice professionals aim to manage pain, control symptoms, and preserve dignity, allowing patients to live their remaining days with as much comfort and peace as possible.

Beyond medical care, hospice extends its compassionate embrace to families. Bereavement counseling provides a lifeline of support during and after the loss of a loved one. Trained counselors guide family members through the grieving process, helping them cope with their emotions and navigate the challenges of adjustment.

Through hospice care, patients and their loved ones find solace in knowing they are not alone in their final days. Compassionate caregivers offer a gentle touch, a listening ear, and a gentle reminder that life’s value extends beyond measure.

Interventional Radiology: Precise and Minimally Invasive Medical Interventions

Interventional radiology is a cutting-edge medical specialty that utilizes image guidance to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions. Using advanced imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, and MRI, interventional radiologists can navigate through the body with precision, avoiding the need for open surgery. This minimally invasive approach minimizes patient discomfort, reduces recovery time, and often provides excellent outcomes.

One of the key areas where interventional radiology shines is in vascular interventions. Interventional radiologists can access blood vessels through small punctures in the skin to perform a variety of procedures. They can repair damaged blood vessels, such as aneurysms (bulges) and carotid artery disease (narrowing of the neck arteries), through advanced techniques like stenting and embolization. They can also treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the legs) by administering clot-dissolving medications directly into the affected vein.

Tumor ablation is another area where interventional radiology excels. Radiologists use image guidance to direct heat, cold, or radiation therapy to destroy tumors without damaging surrounding tissues. This minimally invasive approach can provide effective treatment for a variety of cancerous and non-cancerous tumors, including those in the liver, kidney, and prostate.

Interventional radiology is also a valuable tool for diagnosing and treating complex medical conditions. Radiologists can perform biopsies to obtain tissue samples from deep within the body for analysis, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and targeted treatment plans. They can also insert drainage catheters to remove fluid collections from the abdomen or chest, providing relief from discomfort and allowing for faster healing.
