Gastroenterology

If you are having stomach and digestive difficulties, you may find yourself in challenging situations both at home or when you are out-and-about. The digestive system, which allows your body to process nutrients, includes the stomach, intestine, liver, pancreas and gallbladder. When these organs do not function properly, you may need to see a gastroenterologist, also referred to as a gastrointestinal “GI” specialist. Our experienced team of gastroenterologists at Bronson treat both children and adults, and are here to help you with problems affecting your digestive system.
