Here you'll find the entire range of solutions needed to live better, whether that means the newest advance in GERD treatment or complex pancreatic surger y performed by one of the nation's most successful and experienced surgical teams. How we're different • Recognized as one of the nation's highest-performing hospitals in gastroenterology and GI surgery, we offer a list of diagnostic and treatment options available at very few hospitals in the state. • We're experts in common conditions such as acid reflux and hernias, offering today 's most effective noninvasive and minimally invasive solutions. Yet we're equally experienced in the complex, serving as a referral center in areas from esophageal cancer surgery to complicated polypectomies, allowing our interventional gastroenterologists to endoscopically remove large colon polyps that typically require surgery. • Our pursuit of better, less invasive treatments is how we became a nationally recognized center of excellence in minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgery. From colorectal and stomach cancer to hernia repair, we're using cutting-edge robotic techniques to create more precision and dramatically shorter recoveries.
