Gastroenterology and Patient Care Approach
Digestive symptoms can have many possible causes, so gastroenterology care usually begins with a detailed history and assessment of symptom patterns, medications, diet, previous testing, and family history.
Depending on the concern, evaluation may involve blood work, stool testing, imaging, upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, or other diagnostic procedures.
Dr. Bloom’s training includes advanced gastroenterology and endoscopy. For conditions such as persistent reflux or suspected Barrett’s esophagus, endoscopy may help examine the lining of the upper digestive tract and determine whether further monitoring or treatment is appropriate.
Not every digestive complaint requires a procedure. Treatment may include medication, dietary changes, monitoring, or coordination with another specialist depending on the diagnosis.
