The Lynda K. And David M. Underwood Center for Digestive Disorders
Under the leadership of gastroenterologist Dr. Eamonn Quigley and surgeon Dr. A. Osama Gaber, doctors at the Lynda K. and David M. Underwood Center for Digestive Disorders develop comprehensive treatment programs for each individual patient. These range from simple lifestyle changes to advanced surgeries. We have decades of experience treating and researching digestive disorders, which affect millions of people nationwide.
Patients, many who have suffered for years without relief, travel to our center from Texas and around the country because we can help them. Our staff, including gastroenterologists, gastrointestinal surgeons, neurologists, rheumatologists and other medical specialists such as dieticians and psychologists, provide the best diagnostic and therapeutic options for all disorders.
Our experts use sophisticated, state-of-the-art imaging and technology to evaluate the gastrointestinal tract, accurately diagnose disorders and develop the best treatment options for each patient. We offer a wide range of tests and services to treat the entire digestive tract including conditions of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, colon, biliary tract, gall bladder, liver and pancreas.
