Why Choose Nebraska Medicine to Treat Your Digestive Problem?

A Team Approach

To provide you with the most accurate and comprehensive care, our physicians use a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating with a team of specialists to ensure we have exhausted all possible diagnoses and treatment options. Our goal is to help you return to optimal health as quickly as possible.

Expertise

Our gastroenterologists are experts in their field. They understand the symptoms of digestive disorders and will quickly run the necessary tests (physical exam, possible ultrasound or X-ray) to determine the source of your discomfort. Because of their specialized training, you can be sure that the doctors at Nebraska Medicine will safely diagnose and treat your digestive disorders before complications occur.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

When surgery is needed, our skilled surgeons will use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. Minimally invasive surgery requires very small incisions often allowing you to go home the same day or after a 24-hour observation period. Using specialized techniques such as miniature cameras with microscopes, tiny fiber optic lights and high definition monitors, surgeons can make repairs without requiring you to undergo major surgery. Benefits include less pain, small incisions, less preoperative time, quicker return to normal activity, fewer complications and reduced risk of wound separation.

Experience

We have performed thousands of minimally invasive procedures with a success rate often three times better than the national average. Doctors at Nebraska Medicine have published papers about how to perfect minimally invasive procedures and make them safer for our patients. Because of our findings, centers around the country have changed how they perform these procedures. Our expertise and advanced training prevent possible complications from surgery.
