Why Choose Duke

Nationally Recognized Hepatologists
Our liver experts are recognized for their hepatitis research and expertise. We have been involved in the development of major advances in hepatitis drugs and diagnostic technology.

Access to the Latest Treatments
A variety of new therapies and therapy combinations are available through our clinical trials. We offer you the opportunity to participate in treatment studies that may test new therapies and help us better understand digestive diseases.

Innovative Surgery
We are experts in the use of minimally invasive approaches to surgery that speed healing, reduce discomfort, and lower infection risk. Many surgeries are performed using tools that require smaller incisions and allow surgeons to use sophisticated imaging to increase surgical precision.

Enhanced Recovery Reduces Hospital Stays and Readmissions
Our doctors are national leaders in enhanced recovery, a program that reduces the need for fasting before surgery, encourages immediate physical rehabilitation after surgery, and incorporates specialized pain management. Duke research shows that this enhanced recovery approach decreases complication rates and the length of hospital stays.

Expert Diagnosis
Digestive diseases can be hard to diagnose because their symptoms may not be clear. We have earned a reputation for making prompt, accurate diagnoses and acting quickly to restore your health. With experts in every aspect of the digestive system -- from esophagus disorders such as GERD to anal and colon diseases -- we are prepared to help you with any condition.

New Patient Appointment

Collaborative Care
You benefit from a group of experienced surgeons, blood specialists, and imaging experts who work together to review your diagnosis and make the most effective treatment recommendations. Making decisions about abdominal and other complex procedures often requires the expertise of many specialists. Vascular, gynecological, and plastic surgeons work collaboratively with you to ensure you have the best outcome.

Leaders in Endoscopic Ultrasound
As leaders in this sophisticated high-definition imaging technology, we can diagnose pancreatic cancer earlier, in the most treatable stages, and obtain accurate staging information.

Compassionate, Patient-Focused Care
We focus on convenience to maximize your comfort. Many tests and procedures are completed on an outpatient basis in a single day.

Patient Education
Lifestyle choices often have significant consequences for the digestive system. Our complete care approach includes providing advice on how to improve diet and weight-loss efforts.
