Specialized pancreatic disease management

Our multidisciplinary experts deliver coordinated, leading-edge care for pancreatic disease. We offer fast access to care and personalized treatment plans.
Advanced endoscopic techniques

We diagnose and treat pancreatic disorders using advanced minimally invasive endoscopic techniques that minimize discomfort and speed recovery. Procedures we offer include:

  • Endoscopic cystogastrostomy
  • Endoscopic necrosectomy
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
  • Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
  • Fine needle aspiration and biopsy
  • Pancreatic stents
Imaging expertise and experience
Our GI imaging specialists are national leaders in the field. We were one of the first in the nation to offer endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). This minimally invasive procedure combines X-ray and video endoscope technology to diagnose and treat bile duct conditions. We also pioneered cholangioscopy, a new technique in ERCP.
Advanced surgery for pancreatitis
Our surgeons are pioneers in the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques for many procedures. These techniques can improve your recovery time and reduce pain. We have expertise in complex pancreatic and biliary surgery, including the Whipple procedure, Puestow procedure, and total pancreatectomy with auto-islet cell transplantation (TPIAT).
Pancreas Cyst Clinic
Our cyst clinic provides imaging, monitoring, and treatment for people with pancreatic cystic lesions. We can evaluate your previous imaging, conduct a cyst fluid analysis, and determine your cancer risk factors. If you’re at risk for cancer, we provide ongoing monitoring.
