Gastroenterology

Penn Highlands Gastroenterology Can Make You Feel Better

At Penn Highlands Gastroenterology Services, our physicians specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts and liver.

These physicians’ specialized training allows them to provide high-quality and individualized care for patients with gastrointestinal, or GI, conditions.

Colonoscopies Can Save Lives

Gastroenterologists perform a life-saving cancer screening test called a colonoscopy. During a colonoscopy, the physician examines the large and small intestine via small tube and camera. Any polyps detected can be removed during the procedure, before they become colon cancer.

Colonoscopies can be done on an outpatient basis at any Penn Highlands Healthcare hospital or The Endoscopy Center in DuBois.
