Dr. Majd Michael sees patients in Cameron Park, CA. His medical specialty is adult gastroenterology.

"I have had a colonoscopy scheduled for over 2 months, but the staff couldn’t manage to get the prep prescription correctly sent to the pharmacy. I’ve been in contact with the office and pharmacy numerous times over the past 6 weeks, in between my extensive travel. My procedure is tomorrow and still no prescription. I came to the doctors office to pick up the prescription and hand deliver it to the pharmacy. They have me a print out that the pharmacy would not accept. So now I’ve been waiting over an hour for them to call it in. Absolutely ridiculous. I’m questioning why I’m going through all this….oh right, he is one of the few doctors in the area that will take my insurance. "

What is Gastroenterology?

A gastroenterologist is a doctor that specializes in the normal function and diseases of the digestive tract, which includes the stomach, intestines, spleen, pancreas, and liver. As a specialty, gastroenterology is the study of how food moves through the body, how nutrients are absorbed by the body, and how waste is removed by the body. A few of the conditions that a gastroenterologist might treat are:

ulcerative colitis (a condition where inflammation and sores affect the lower intestine)
gallbladder disease (where bile stored in the gallbladder thickens and causes inflammation or gallstones)
gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD (stomach acid flows back into the throat and causes a burning sensation and tissue damage)

One unique trait that really sets gastroenterologists apart is their training and skill with endoscopy, a procedure where tiny flexible tubes are inserted into the body. These tubes are equipped with lights and cameras to provide the practitioner with a close, inside look at what is going on inside the patient's body. Tools can even be inserted through the tubes to perform certain procedures, such as removing polyps or cancers, stretching open passageways that have narrowed, or applying lasers to stop bleeding.

Gastroenterologists do not perform surgery, but they do perform endoscopic procedures, as well as biopsies to determine if cancer is affecting the digestive tract. Although other physicians can use endoscopes, gastroenterologists devote a significant portion of their medical training and practice to endoscopy. They learn how and when to use endoscopy, the safest and most efficient methods to use, and how to interpret what they see through the endoscope.
