Gastroenterology is a fascinating specialty because it treats a wide range of conditions affecting multiple organs. It allows me to care for patients in the office while also performing procedures such as endoscopy and colonoscopy to help diagnose and treat digestive diseases, with the goal of improving patients’ quality of life.
