Norton Healthcare specialists have been performing gastroenterology (GI) procedures in Louisville and Southern Indiana for more than 30 years.
Our board-certified and fellowship-trained specialists can provide access to cutting-edge treatments and have the skill and experience to know when surgery is required and when more conservative approaches can help.
We’ll work with you to develop a customized treatment plan to help you get back to living your best life.
Our gastroenterologists maintain a close relationship with the liver transplant services at the University of Louisville and University of Kentucky.
We provide colonoscopies that are both diagnostic and therapeutic. If we see any polyps that need to be removed, we will remove them during your colonoscopy — saving you the need to make an extra appointment.
