Your digestive system
When we think of our digestive system, the first thing that comes to mind is our stomach. But healthy digestion involves a lot more than that, including the small and large intestine, esophagus, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. If there’s an issue with one of these organs, Touro’s gastroenterology team can care for conditions like:
