Who is a Gastroenterologist?

A gastroenterologist is a medical doctor specializing in the digestive system, which includes the stomach, intestines, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. They are trained to diagnose and treat conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, hepatitis, ulcers, colon cancer, and more. Unlike a gastrologist, a term often used interchangeably, a gastroenterologist also manages conditions related to the liver.

In some cases, patients may need to consult a pediatric gastroenterologist, who specializes in treating digestive issues in children. These experts ensure that even the youngest patients receive specialized care.
