Gastroenterology Evaluation and Diagnostics

Our gastroenterologists are here to help evaluate, diagnose, treat and manage digestive disorders with the latest advanced tools and procedures.

Why Choose Sutter?

If you’re dealing with chronic or severe digestive issues, we’re here to help. Our hospitals are known for high colon cancer screening rates, helping with early detection and better outcomes. U.S. News & World Report ranks our hospitals among the best in gastroenterology, and the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society commends our motility procedures as top-tier.

We use advanced motility testing to diagnose conditions that lead to pain, bloating and digestive symptoms. For colon cancer prevention, an annual fecal occult blood test is recommended from age 50, with customized screening schedules based on personal risk factors.
