A gastroenterologist is a specialist who focuses anywhere from the esophagus to the colon, including the liver. Here at Bass, we have all different types of gastroenterologists who focus in general gastroenterology. I focus on general gastroenterology, including screening colonoscopies, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, but also my focus is advanced therapeutic endoscopy, providing treatments that typically were relegated towards surgery. With these sorts of treatments, we can now resect cancer as well as diagnose cancer early with minimally invasive techniques. Thank you for submitting your questions to #BassListens.
