Sometimes your gastroenterologist will suggest additional testing (eg. colonoscopy, EGD, pill cam, 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, therapeutic infusions like Remicade, Entyvio and Injectafer are often recommended.

Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that can cause serious digestive symptoms that interfere with daily life. There is no cure for the disease, but management is possible. Here are ways we treat the condition.
A low-residue diet limits foods with lots of fiber, which effectively reduces the number of bowel movements you have a day. This can help you if you suffer from certain digestive disorders.
