In Expert Hands

Providing the best options for early diagnoses of digestive disorders and pancreatic diseases.

At Northwest Community Hospital, we wake up every morning expecting the unexpected. We know the moment could be coming when we'll be caught off guard—when a new patient presents a condition that is under-researched, untreatable, or worse, unknown. But that day has yet to arrive—and we're doing our best to ensure it never does.

As a team of board-certified experts, we've studied at the finest universities and have mastered the most advanced techniques. Our collective talents inspire confidence—from research to surgery to life-threatening situations. We bring this unparalleled depth and breadth of experience to bear on every one of the more than 3,000 interventional procedures and complex surgeries we perform each year. We're on a quest to leave no stone unturned—for you.

Complex GI Care

Our Gastroenterology Center brings together highly specialized experts and sophisticated technology in a supportive environment. We offer a complete range of services, from routine colonoscopies to advanced, highly specialized surgical procedures usually only found at university medical centers.

Sophisticated Technology

We have the Midwest's largest and most sophisticated facility for digital fluoroscopy and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)—a minimally invasive alternative to exploratory surgery. Our advanced procedures include HALO³⁶⁰ Ablation Therapy—a proven technique for treating pre-cancerous damage to the esophagus due to chronic heartburn. See how we're putting groundbreaking technology to work for you.

A Healing Environment

We have designed our facilities to enhance your privacy and safety while creating a supportive, family-centered atmosphere. To ensure your comfort, we offer extended hours, including early mornings and Saturdays, and 24-hour on-call testing and intervention.
