Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Program
Our inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) program was established in 2015 and is a center of excellence devoted to the management of patients with complex ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. More than 500 patients with complex inflammatory bowel disease have been evaluated and undergone treatment through our IBD program.
The program is led by a multidisciplinary team that includes a gastroenterologist (with specialized expertise in IBD), colorectal surgeons, nutritionists, radiologists, pathologists and pain management specialists who jointly deliver comprehensive care. Our program's specific emphasis is the management of IBD complications — including strictures, fistulas, leaks and early-stage tumors — by providing tertiary-level endoscopic treatment. Additionally, colon cancer surveillance is performed utilizing advanced technology such as chromoendoscopy for detection and resection of early-stage tumors.
