Gastroenterology
UMC Health System has fellowship-trained gastroenterologists who provide the highest level of comprehensive care for a variety of gastrointestinal conditions.
Our gastroenterology specialists treat people with diseases and disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines (colon), pancreas and liver. We also provide expert nutritional information to help treat various symptoms you may be experiencing. We provide some of the best care not only in Lubbock, but in the region.
