Visiting a gastroenterologist can often feel intimidating and patients are sometimes embarrassed to discuss such personal symptoms as gas, bloating, diarrhea or constipation. Yet Ohio State gastroenterologist, Sheryl Pfeil, MD, emphasizes sensitivity, respect for privacy and a focus on keeping patients comfortable during every office visit and procedure. She explains the collaborative, team approach used to address issues and how gastroenterologists often consult with specialists in other fields to treat the “whole person.” To learn more or to schedule an appointment, visit https://internalmedicine.osu.edu/digestivediseases/ or call (614) 293-6255.
