Palmetto Gastroenterology and Hepatology

At Palmetto Gastroenterology & Hepatology (PGH) our Gastroenterologist is Board-Certified with three years of GI training in addition to internal medicine residency. Gastroenterologists receive specialized training in endoscopy, a diagnostic procedure which uses flexible, lighted tube with a built-in video camera to examine the inside of the digestive/intestinal tract. Studies have shown that Gastroenterologists perform higher quality Colonoscopy screenings and other consultative services when compared to other types of physicians. While non-gastroenterologists are five times more likely to miss Colo-rectal Cancer during Colonoscopy than Gastroenterologists.
