Valley Gastrointestinal Specialists

The physicians at Valley Gastrointestinal Specialists (VGS) are highly trained and board certified in gastroenterology and liver disease. The types of disorders they treat are associated with the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine (colon), liver, gallbladder and pancreas.

Some of the problems they treat are gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, Barrett's esophagus ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease, colitis cancer of the GI tract, and liver diseases including viral hepatitis, cirrhosis gallbladder stones and pancreatitis.

They are experts in performing many endoscopic procedures including esophagogastroduodenscopy (EGD), colonoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). They remove hemorrhoids without surgery through a technique called endoscopic hemorrhoidal ligation (EHL). These specialized procedures are completed at the Alameda Surgery Center or Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, both located in Burbank.
