Digestive Disorders Associates specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of adults and children with GI diseases and disorders. Our team of gastroenterologists has expertise in all types of digestive conditions, including acid reflux disease, Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis, IBS, swallowing disorders and hepatitis. Patients of DDA can choose to be seen in Annapolis, Chester, or Gambrills, Maryland.
As a smaller practice with three locations, our doctors are able to offer a more personalized, caring approach to their patients. During your initial consultation, your physician will listen patiently to your concerns. He or she will carefully review your GI symptoms and medical history. Finally, he or she will take time to carefully explain your initial diagnosis to help you understand the course of treatment that is recommended.
Sometimes your gastroenterologist will suggest additional testing (eg. colonoscopy, EGD, pillcam or motility testing) to confirm your GI diagnosis, and most often these can be scheduled in MDTEC, our private surgery center conveniently located in the Annapolis office.
The Annapolis office is also the location of our onsite infusion center. For GI disorders and diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis or anemia, therapuetic infusions like Remicade, Entyvio and Injectafer are often recommended. DDA is the only gastroenterology practice in the area that offers an onsite infusion center for your comfort and privacy.
The physicians and staff of Digestive Disorders Associates work hard to provide our patients with the highest quality prevention and treatment of GI disease in a caring, compassionate manner. We are dedicated to providing each patient with superior medical treatment in a comfortable, safe atmosphere. Each patient’s care is managed by our impressive team of nationally recognized providers who are all leaders in the field of gastroenterology.
