At Baylor Scott & White Digestive Diseases – Fort Worth, we believe in putting the patient first while providing them with the information necessary to make the best decision about their gastrointestinal disease condition. We focus on aspects of gastroenterology issues such as Barrett’s esophagus, GERD, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), liver disease, disorders of the bile duct, large and complex polyps, GI cancers, pancreas disorders including pancreatic cysts, pancreatitis, pseudocyst drainage, pancreatic necrosis management and celiac disease.
Endoscopically, our lead physician, Melvin Simien, MD, is interested in non-surgical interventional endoscopy including small bowel enteroscopy, ERCP, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), fine needle aspiration (FNA), cholangioscopy, BARRX, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), cricopharyngeal myotomy, Zenker’s diverticulum, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and endoscopic mucosal dissection (ESD), endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic necrosectomies, bariatric endoscopy and luminal stenting.
