Do you have abdominal pain or discomfort? Difficulty swallowing? You may need to see Dr. Lans - a gastroenterologist! 

A gastroenterologist is a physician who specializes in diseases of the digestive system, also called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Gastroenterologists have extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), and biliary system (e.g., liver, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts). Gastroenterology is a subspecialty of internal medicine.

Gastroenterologists have a thorough understanding of how food moves through the digestive tract and the physical and chemical break down of food (digestion), including the absorption of nutrients and the removal of waste products. Gastroenterologists also focus on the digestive function of the liver.

This podcast episode we sit down with Dr. Joel I. Lans, MD. Dr. Lans is a board-certified gastroenterologist with nearly 30 years of experience serving patients in the Midwest. He joined Saltzer Health in August 2019. Dr. Lans specializes in gastroenterology, Gastroesophageal reflux disease, pancreas and liver diseases, and colon diseases, including colonoscopy with polypectomy.
