Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Inflammatory Bowel Disease gastroenterologist do?

A Inflammatory Bowel Disease gastroenterologist is a Gastroenterology physician with focused training in the long-term management of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and related autoimmune conditions of the bowel. After completing Gastroenterology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general gastroenterologist typically handles day to day.

What conditions does a Inflammatory Bowel Disease gastroenterologist treat?

A Inflammatory Bowel Disease gastroenterologist commonly treats Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, indeterminate colitis, perianal Crohn's disease, and biologic and small-molecule therapy management. Many also see closely related conditions within Gastroenterology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general gastroenterologist.

When should I see a Inflammatory Bowel Disease gastroenterologist?

Consider seeing a Inflammatory Bowel Disease gastroenterologist when you have a diagnosis of Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, or unexplained chronic GI symptoms, when a primary care clinician or general gastroenterologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Inflammatory Bowel Disease gastroenterologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.

How is a Inflammatory Bowel Disease gastroenterologist different from a general gastroenterologist?

Both are board-eligible gastroenterologists, but a Inflammatory Bowel Disease gastroenterologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the long-term management of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and related autoimmune conditions of the bowel. General gastroenterologists treat a broad range of Gastroenterology concerns; Inflammatory Bowel Disease gastroenterologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, indeterminate colitis, perianal Crohn's disease, and biologic and small-molecule therapy management.
