The Center for Advanced Digestive Care provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary, coordinated care - which means we take an interdepartmental team approach to treating digestive disease. Specialists across all clinical areas share ideas and develop a comprehensive treatment plan for every patient. Your appointments, diagnostic tests and care are all carefully coordinated by our specially trained clinical program coordinators and patient navigators.

No. The Center treats the full range of digestive disorders and conditions, and offers services from routine colonoscopies to complex surgical procedures. Our clinicians apply the latest medical and surgical therapies, research and technologies to treat these diseases.

Yes. In addition to adult care, the Center for Advanced Digestive Care provides services to children with digestive disorders primarily through The Phyllis & David Komansky Center for Children's Health, one of the nation's leading centers for the diagnosis and treatment of childhood diseases. Pediatric and adult specialists routinely collaborate on patient cases as dictated by the individual patient care plans. .

Transition Care is a program to help pediatric patients initiate a pathway to self-sufficiency and assist them in taking charge of their condition as they move from pediatric care to adult digestive care. We facilitate adjustment to the new environment of adult care, introduce them to new physicians, and help them understand the critical importance of keeping up-to-date with therapies and appointments. This process begins in adolescence (around the age of 12) and continues through the teen years and into young adulthood (through age 18).

Your digestive care -- physician appointments, diagnostic testing and treatment therapies -- is in one convenient location, all coordinated by clinical program specialists who take you step-by-step through the care process from diagnosis to treatment and recovery.

Yes. The Center offers complete diagnostic testing and treatment therapies for all digestive disorders.

We will use information from all previous tests whenever possible. However, in cases where diagnostic information is not conclusive, we may need to repeat certain tests or conduct additional tests that use more advanced technologies to provide more accurate data and guide your customized care plan.
