Gastrointestinal Program at Neuro Spinal Hospital

The digestive system is a miracle of muscles, valves, digestive juices and nutrient absorption. The synchronized, wave-like movement of our digestive system’s muscles, which push food through the various parts of the system, is essential for healthy and happy living.
Disturbances of the gastrointestinal system can cause a variety of symptoms, discomfort, and loss of nutrient absorption.

Our Gastrointestinal Program and Task Force Team provides referring physicians with complete tests of motility and gastrointestinal functioning. Our comprehensive reports include detailed analysis of motility tracings along with expert comments.
Patients are offered lifestyle modification advice, nutritional consultation, medical, endoscopic, and minimally invasive surgical solutions to alleviate symptoms and restore gastrointestinal function.

High-standard, complex cases of cancer and advanced reflux diseases are discussed by our multidisciplinary Gastrointestinal Task Force Team including Surgical Oncologists, Thoracic Surgeons, Medical Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Pathologists, Radiologists, and Nutritionists who meet on a regular basis.
