Nutritional Counseling
Diet and nutrition are important factors in the management of IBD. Diseases such as Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis are likely to increase the body’s requirements for calories, nutrients and energy.
Primary Care
Our multidisciplinary approach provides you with the optimal opportunity to establish an individualized treatment plan with your dedicated gastroenterologist and case manager. Case managers play a critical role in patient care at Midwest Gastrointestinal Associates, PC. Case managers act as liaisons between primary care physicians, our specialists, and insurance companies to provide optimal care for IBD patients. Our approach facilitates treatment plans, coordinates outreach services, and helps patients manage routine office visits and procedures. Our case managers assist with issues pertaining to your Inflammatory Bowel Disease; including symptoms, flares, side effects of medicines, prescription refills, and blood tests. MGI strives to promote the healthy, active lifestyle of the IBD patient.
Smoking Cessation
Smoking can make your inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) worse. Patients who smoke are more likely to have flares and require medications as well as surgery to treat their IBD. Quitting smoking can improve the overall health of your digestive system.
Emergency Care
There is someone to help you during the day and after hours. We want to keep you healthy and out of the hospital, which includes refraining from going to the emergency room for non-urgent care.
Colonoscopy
Colorectal cancer screening is safe and effective. Early detection of colorectal cancer leads to easier treatments and higher survival rates. There are several different options for screening, colonoscopy being the most common. Schedule an appointment to talk to your gastroenterologist to make an informed decision about which screening tests are right for you.
Immunizations

Internal Medicine
Midwest Gastrointestinal Associates, PC (MGI) was formed in 2005 when Gastrointestinal Associates (GIA) and Internal Medicine Associates (IMA) merged. The original gastroenterologists of IMA, the late Dr. Kenneth Maxwell and Dr. Edwin Schafer, began their practice in 1977. In 1982 Dr. Timothy Denzler and Dr. Michael Jones joined their individual private practices to form GIA. Over the years, as each practice grew and welcomed new physicians, the cordial working relationship between the two groups developed.
Gastroenterology
Gastroenterology Management Services, LLC, (GEMS) is a physician owned Management Company. We specialize in providing administrative, financial, and clinical oversight for outpatient medical clinics and ambulatory surgery centers related to gastrointestinal disorders and treatment.
Colon Cancer
Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer related deaths in the U.S. Colorectal cancer is defined as cancer of the colon or rectum. Regular screenings can help prevent colorectal cancer through diagnosis at an early, curable stage and through removal of precancerous polyps. A polyp is an abnormal growth of tissue lining the colon or rectum; some polyps, such as an adenoma polyp, may turn into cancer or may already be cancer. Individuals with a personal history of colon polyps or family history of colon polyps /colon cancer are at an increased risk of developing polyps.
Endoscopy
Our Endoscopy Center is both a Joint Commission certified facility and American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) recognized endoscopy unit. Joint Commission accreditation and certification is a symbol of quality, which reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting specific performance standards. The Joint Commission’s standards and emphasis on clinical practice guidelines help organizations establish a consistent approach to care, reducing health care related risks. ASGE is known as the profession’s leader in setting standards for excellence in endoscopy. The ASGE

Ultrasound
An examination of the deeper layers of the digestive tract utilizing a specially designed endoscope that has an ultrasound transducer at the tip. Using ultrasound, or high-frequency sound waves, images of the layers of the gastrointestinal tract as well as other internal organs are obtained. If needed, endoscopic ultrasound also allow for biopsy of lesions that are deeper than the mucosa or lesions that are in internal organs such as the pancreas.
MRI
Radiology
It is possible that people with Crohn’s disease of the colon could experience the same conditions. If that happens, they would also need emergency surgery. However people with Crohn’s disease are more likely to have other complications which may require urgent or emergent surgery. Sometimes Crohn’s disease will cause scarring to develop, which leads to a narrowing (stricture) of the bowel. This may cause obstruction or blockage. Other people with Crohn’s disease may develop ulcers that eventually cause tunnels that lead to other parts of the intestines (large or small bowel), the bladder, the vagina or even to the surface of the skin. These tunnels are called fistulas. Surgery may be indicated if medications cannot control the tunnels. Sometimes these tunnels can lead to leakage of infection and the development of an abscess (boil). An abscess may require antibiotics and often will need to be drained. Drainage can often be done by interventional radiology via minimally invasive approaches, however, occasional surgery may be needed. Some people with Crohn’s disease will develop anal fistulas and fissures. In fact, 8-12% of people with Crohn’s disease will present with anal problems as the first sign of their disease.
