A gastroenterologist is a physician who specializes in the gastrointestinal tract (including the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine) and other digestive organs (liver, pancreas, bile ducts, and gall bladder)

Overall, the most successful way to lower the risk of colorectal cancer is to start getting screened for it at the age of 50.

Something is troubling your digestive system, or have talked to your family doctor about the regular stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or heartburn, or if you are 45 years old or older and have a family history of GI cancer.

Surgical Gastroenterologists perform both endoscopic procedures as well as surgery.
