Visiting a gastroenterologist can often feel intimidating and patients are sometimes embarrassed to discuss such personal symptoms as gas, bloating, diarrhea or constipation.

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.
