Digestive Disease and Surgery Institute

Our goal is to provide the highest level of comprehensive care in one place, taking into account the whole patient, not simply one aspect or one symptom. 

The Fort Sanders Digestive Disease and Surgery Institute offers complete care for your entire digestive system, ranging from the esophagus to the rectum — all in one facility. Our specialized providers offer the most advanced diagnostics, the latest endoscopic treatments, and cutting-edge surgical techniques in the region to provide you with excellent care.

Navigating the healthcare system can be challenging. However, at our institute, we work collaboratively as a team to simplify that process. As a result, we are able to provide a patient-centered treatment plan that meets your specific needs and health goals in a supportive manner.

Our endoscopy center uses the most advanced endoscopic equipment to help detect, diagnose, and treat conditions of the GI tract. The center is staffed with board-certified gastroenterologists, many of whom have completed specialized training in advanced endoscopy, making them the leading pioneers in their field.
