CHA has opened a GI center at the Somerville Hospital campus to help patients with a variety of digestive disorders. It includes a state-of-the-art endoscopy suite with four procedure rooms.

  • GERD (Heartburn)
  • Ulcer disease
  • Liver disease
  • Pancreatic disease
  • Colon cancer
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
    - Crohns disease
    - Ulcerative colitis
  • Celiac disease

Some of the procedures we offer include:

  • Colonoscopy
  • Upper endoscopy
  • ERCP
  • Capsule endoscopy
  • 24 hour pH monitoring
  • Esophageal motility
  • Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
