General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  Our practice specializes in the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal disorders. We will work closely with your primary care physician and will send reports about your visits and procedures to your primary care physician so that they will be informed about your care and any treatment plan we have recommended.
• Colonoscopy
  Colonoscopy lets your doctor examine the lining of your large intestine (colon) for abnormalities by inserting a thin flexible tube, as thick as your finger, into your anus and slowly advancing it into the rectum and colon. This instrument, called a colonoscope, has its own lens and light source and it allows your doctor to view images on a video monitor.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  Some of the more common conditions treated by our providers are abdominal pain, gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease, H. pylori infection, gastritis, swallowing problems, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, gallstone related disease, pancreas disorders, iron deficiency and other nutritional anemias, inflammatory bowel disease such as Chron’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, polyp disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anal fissures, hemorrhoids and more.

Internists

• Gastroenterology
  Gastroenterology Consultants of Laredo, a leader in healthcare management, now offers FibroScan® to assess liver health and support early detection and management of liver disease.
• Colon Cancer
• Endoscopy
  Upper Endoscopy helps your doctor evaluate symptoms of upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or difficulty swallowing. It’s the best test for finding the cause of bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract. It is also more accurate than X-ray films for detecting inflammation, ulcers, and tumors of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.

Radiologist

• MRI
  At the end of the procedure, the data recorder and sensors will be removed and the images acquired during your exam will 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 in the vicinity of an MRI machine.

Dermatologists

• Ulcer
  H. pylori is a chronic bacterial infection that causes gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and in some rare cases gastric cancer and lymphoma. It is treated with antibiotics. Diagnosis and testing for eradication can be achieved with a few different modalities, one of which is urea breath testing. Urea breath test is an in-office diagnostic test in which by blowing your breath into an analyzer, detection of H. pylori byproducts can be tested for. If positive, antibiotics are usually prescribed.
