Gastroenterology & Hepatology

Treating the Esophagus, Stomach, Gallbladder, Pancreas, Liver, Small Intestine and Colon

SLUCare Physician Group gastroenterologists and hepatologists offer all types of routine endoscopic procedures, including upper endoscopies, colonoscopies, and liver biopsies, as well as specialized treatment for diseases of the stomach, liver, small intestine and colon.

SLUCare providers are also experts in treating pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and motility disorders. Our GI physiology laboratory provides 24-hour monitoring for gastroesophageal reflux, motility studies of the esophagus, sphincter of Oddi and rectum, and evaluation of patients with chronic diarrhea.

Colonoscopy Screenings

SLUCare Physician Group providers offer open access colonoscopy screenings for both existing patients and those referred from outside physicians.

Candidates for open access colonoscopy include people at average risk of colon cancer, such as those older than 50, as well as those at increased risk. Factors for increased risk can include having an immediate relative with colon cancer and being either older than 40 or 10 years younger than the age your relative was when they were first developed colon cancer.

Talk with your doctor about when you should have a colonoscopy. Call 314-257-5555 to schedule your colonsocopy screening.

Computer-aided Colonoscopy Now Available

Ask your gastroenterologist if a computer-aided colonoscopy is right for you. This new intelligent endoscope technology allows physicians to better identify and biopsy precancerous cells during a colonoscopy.
