Digestive Diseases

Doctors and scientists at NewYork-Presbyterian, one of New York's top ranked hospitals, are constantly advancing the field to offer innovative procedures and treatments.  Whether developed here or assessed at our centers through pioneering clinical trials, these approaches have restored comfort, function, and quality of life — and in many cases, saved lives — for thousands of patients suffering from digestive disorders.

We administer the latest technology to offer non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures to allow for a quicker recovery and less time at the hospital. Our doctors are moving away from “one-size-fits-all” medicine and analyzing your genetics to provide treatment that will be most effective for you. NewYork-Presbyterian is one of the most comprehensive healthcare system in the world and our size allows for multidisciplinary collaboration that simply is very difficult to accomplish at smaller hospitals. When you come to NewYork-Presbyterian, you will benefit from treatments based on the latest medical and surgical advances and research from two Ivy League medical schools.

Non-invasive/Minimally Invasive Procedures

Non-invasive/Minimally Invasive Procedures

In the past, digestive disorders that could not be well-managed with medication required conventional open surgery, performed through large incisions. Today, many of these illnesses can be treated using approaches performed through small incisions and in many cases, no external incisions at all.

Personalized Care & Precision Medicine

Science and medicine come together through precision medicine — understanding the fundamental genetic changes driving a disease. Today doctors evaluate the biology of many patients' diseases to identify their root causes, with the goal of matching them with individualized therapies that target those molecular abnormalities.

Multidisciplinary Collaboration

We understand it can be frustrating having to visit multiple specialists on multiple days and even worse when they do not communicate to each other about your diagnosis. Our doctors, dieticians, psychologists, social workers, and other experts come together, to develop a seamless plan to save you time and more importantly provide effective treatments.

Clinical Trials

In addition to standard therapies, our digestive care teams lead and participate in clinical trials evaluating promising new treatments. Find out if you might be eligible to be in one of these vital studies.
