Gastrointestinal Disorders

 

wp44ad4655_0f.jpg Our office specializes in the evaluation and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.

 

These include conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, colon and rectum.  Our goal is to provide our patients with expert diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in a convenient and comfortable setting.  To that end, we offer:

 

  • On-site Remicade infusion therapy.
  • Colon cancer screening and polyp surveillance in an outpatient environment.
  • Infrared coagulation for bleeding hemorrhoids.
  • Wireless video imaging of the small bowel.
  • In-office breath testing to evaluate for bacterial overgrowth and lactose or fructose intolerance.
  • Cimzia therapy.
  • Hemorrhoid Banding.
  • Wireless Intraesophageal Acid Monitoring.
  • 48-hour pH monitoring of the esophagus to assess for reflux disease.  

 

In addition, Dr. Schub has extensive expertise in the field of osteopathic medicine.  He is therefore able to offer osteopathic manipulation and trigger point injections for patients with certain musculoskeletal disorders that may masquerade as abdominal pain.  

 

Some of the disorders we evaluate and treat include:

 

  • Gluten Intolerance
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
  • Ulcers in the stomach or bowel
  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Ulcerative Colitis
  • Hepatitis, including chronic hepatitis C
  • Gallbladder Disease
  • Pancreatic Disease
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding disorders
  • Abdominal Bloating and Intestinal Gas
  • Hemorrhoids
