The Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Mayo Clinic specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the digestive tract and liver. It is a large practice with state-of-the-art facilities.
The division is organized around specialty groups oriented toward disease processes, organ systems, procedures, and patient groups. Clinical expertise is integrated with the newest forms of established and experimental diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Patient care is provided by teams of physicians and other health care staff with broad expertise in all forms of gastroenterological and hepatobiliary diseases.
Patients with esophageal disorders are treated by the Esophageal Interest Group and the Esophageal clinic, with a staff of five physicians. They are supported by a physician assistant, world-class motility lab, and work in close collaboration with thoracic and general surgeons, pathologists, and radiologists. Patients seen weekly in clinic have conditions that span the entire spectrum of esophageal diseases.
Because high-quality care depends upon scientific discovery, major research programs at the basic, applied, and translational levels exist to generate new knowledge that ultimately improve patient care.
