Gastroenterology & Digestive Health
MetroHealth's Gastroenterology team treats a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, such as heartburn, gallstones, acid reflux, swallowing disorders, constipation or pancreatitis.
MetroHealth's Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology treats disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, liver, pancreas and gallbladder.
Our physicians are trained in internal medicine, have completed an accredited GI fellowship and have additional training in their areas of interest or expertise. In addition, our Division Director Ronnie Fass, MD, is among the world's leading experts in researching gastroesophageal reflux disease. He is also a leader in the field of GI motility and is known around the world as an expert.
We perform procedures such as colonoscopies and upper endoscopies to detect gastrointestinal problems before symptoms begin. We can help you if you suspect that you have a GI disorder but don't have a firm diagnosis, or if you've been living with a GI disorder for years but haven't gotten the right kind of help in the past.
Scheduling Services
We provide you with personalized care at MetroHealth, explaining each test or procedure in detail before getting started. You will have ample opportunity to prepare for any test we recommend. Should you want to prepare for your test in advance, see our pre-test recommendations for review. Contact us with any questions.
