Gastroenterology (Stomach)

Lake Forest Hoapital works with affiliated gastroenterologists who provide diagnoses and treatment for gastrointestinal (GI) or stomach diseases.  Their expertise includes experience with:

• Acid reflux disease
• Cancers of the digestive system
• Crohn's Disease
• Diverticulitis
• Early detection and removal of precancerous colon polyps
• Gallstones
• Inflammatory bowel syndrome

To guide diagnosis, our gastroenterologists use minimally invasive procedures, such as endoscopy and colonoscopy, to gather accurate images of the digestive tract.  Gastroenterological treatments can range from medication that controls symptoms to endoscopic removal or precancerous lesions or gallstones.

For GI procedures, Lake Forest Hospital owns the latest, state-of-the-art Endoscopy equipment that gives our physicians unprecedented HDTV image quality and flexible equipment — which means minimal discomfort, less sedation and shorter recovery times for our patients.
