Commonly referred to as a “stomach doctor”, a gastroenterologist or hepatologist is a doctor, like Dr. Siamak Tabib, that deals with conditions of the stomach and digestive system. Dr. Siamak Tabib incorporates both health maintenance and disease prevention in his practice of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. These two specialty fields of medicine deal primarily with conditions of the digestive tract, which is made up of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Our goal is to maintain health primarily through disease prevention, and when necessary, to intervene with appropriate state of the art methods. We incorporate diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as upper and lower endoscopy (EGD and colonoscopy) in this pathway to wellness.
