Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Our Infusion Center offers a variety of treatments for Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and other conditions requiring infusion therapy. Our infusion nurses are committed to providing high-quality infusion care in a warm, caring environment in order to meet each patient’s needs for compassion and comfort. Depending on the type of infusion you are receiving, your stay at the Infusion Center may be as little as 45 minutes or as long as 3 hours.
Medical Weight Loss
The most common symptoms of Crohn’s disease are abdominal pain and diarrhea. Rectal bleeding, weight loss, and fever may also occur. Bleeding may be serious and persistent, leading to anemia—a condition in which red blood cells are fewer or smaller than normal, which means less oxygen is carried to the body’s cells.
Nutritional Counseling
Emergency Care

Colonoscopy
This overview of a colonoscopy procedure will give you a basic understanding of how it is performed, how it can help you, and what side effects you might experience. As you read this information, make note of any questions or concerns you have. Give us a call and we will answer all your questions and concerns as you prepare for your colonoscopy.
Constipation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder, meaning symptoms are caused by changes in how the GI tract works. People with a functional GI disorder may have frequent symptoms; however, the GI tract does not become damaged. IBS is a group of symptoms that occur together, not a disease. In the past, IBS was called colitis, mucous colitis, spastic colon, nervous colon, and spastic bowel. The name was changed to reflect the understanding that the disorder has physical causes and is not a product of a person’s imagination.
Diarrhea

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten is found mainly in foods but may also be found in everyday products such as medicines, vitamins, and lip balms. When people with celiac disease eat foods or use products containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging or destroying villi—the tiny, fingerlike protrusions lining the small intestine. Villi normally allow nutrients from food to be absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream. Without healthy villi, a person becomes malnourished, no matter how much food one eats. Celiac disease is both a disease of malabsorption—meaning nutrients are not absorbed properly—and an abnormal immune reaction to gluten. Celiac disease is also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue, and gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Celiac disease is genetic, meaning it runs in families. Sometimes the disease is triggered—or becomes active for the first time—after surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, viral infection, or severe emotional stress.

Gastroenterology
As one of the largest gastroenterology practices in the Triad, Digestive Health Specialists offers many exciting opportunities for you to learn, to grow, and to advance your health care career.
Colon Cancer
Colorectal cancer, or colon cancer, occurs in the colon or rectum. The rectum is the passageway that connects the colon to the anus.
Endoscopy
Esophageal dilation is a procedure that allows your doctor to dilate, or stretch, a narrowed area of your esophagus [swallowing tube]. Doctors can use various techniques for this procedure. Your doctor might perform the procedure as part of a sedated endoscopy. Alternatively, your doctor might apply a local anesthetic spray to the back of your throat and then pass a weighted dilator through your mouth and into your esophagus.

Stress Management
Stomach ulcers, often caused by a bacterial infection called H. pylori or long-term use of certain medications, can lead to abdominal pain, bloating, and discomfort. A balanced diet, stress management, and avoiding irritants like tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption can aid in preventing ulcers and promoting healing.

Ultrasound
EUS allows your doctor to examine the lining and the walls of your upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. The upper tract is the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum; the lower tract includes your colon and rectum. EUS is also used to study internal organs that lie next to the gastrointestinal tract, such as the gall bladder and pancreas. Your endoscopist will use a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope. He will pass the endoscope through your mouth or anus to the area to be examined. Your doctor then will turn on the ultrasound component to produce sound waves that create visual images of the digestive tract.
MRI
At the end of the procedure, you will need to go back to your doctor to return the data recorder and sensor array. The images acquired during your exam will then be downloaded to a workstation for your doctor to review. After ingesting the capsule and until it is excreted, you should not have a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examination or be near an MRI machine.
X-Rays
Chemotherapy
Colon cancer, when discovered early, is highly treatable. Even if it spreads into nearby lymph nodes, surgical treatment followed by chemotherapy is highly successful. In the most difficult cases — when the cancer has metastasized to the liver, lungs, or other sites — treatment can prolong and add to one’s quality of life. Most colon cancers develop first as colorectal polyps, which are abnormal growths inside the colon or rectum that may later become cancerous.
Radiation Therapy
Treatment depends mainly on the location of the tumor in the colon or rectum and the stage of the disease. Treatment for colorectal cancer may involve surgery, chemotherapy, biological therapy, or radiation therapy. Some people have a combination of treatments. Treatment for colon cancer is sometimes different than treatment for rectal cancer. Cancer treatment can be local therapy or systemic therapy.
