Gastroenterology
Gastroenterology is the medical care of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas. Our team diagnoses and treats conditions such as reflux, inflammatory bowel disease and liver disorders, using both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy.

One coordinated team, one plan for your care
Our gastroenterology department combines clinical assessment with diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, to evaluate and treat the full range of digestive-system diseases. Gastroenterologists work closely with general and colorectal surgeons, radiologists, pathologists and oncologists so that conditions affecting the gut, liver and pancreas are managed within one coordinated team, and colonoscopy is also used for colorectal cancer screening.
For international patients, a dedicated coordinator gathers your previous endoscopy reports, scans and laboratory results for remote review by a gastroenterologist before you arrive. You receive a recommended diagnostic and treatment plan together with a transparent, personalized cost estimate ahead of travel, plus practical guidance on preparation, length of stay and follow-up once you are back home.

Gastroenterology — frequently asked questions
Yes. Your coordinator can collect earlier endoscopy reports, imaging and blood tests for remote review, after which a gastroenterologist outlines a recommended plan and a personalized cost estimate before you commit to travel.
It depends on your symptoms. Some patients need only one procedure, while others benefit from both. Your gastroenterologist will recommend the appropriate examinations after reviewing your history and findings.
Gastroscopy and colonoscopy are routinely performed with sedation for comfort, and most patients tolerate them well. You will receive clear preparation instructions and recovery guidance from your care team.
