Medical Weight Loss
"I am a 30 year old, active male who was referred to Dr. Pou by my GP due to bloody stool, weight loss and bowel changes. I have had a heck of a year dealing with multiple chronic illnesses, including receiving a diagnosis of a Connective Tissue Disease. The last thing I wanted (or felt priority) to do, was make time for another illness! Dr. Pou was transparent, honest, and QUICK to get to the root of the issue. Even after removing a 2 cm Sessile polyp w/ apparent dysplasia the day of the procedure, I had no idea how close to cancer I was. Then the biopsy returned and showed I was already walking with it! I was walking, in a sense - no matter how early the stage - on borrowed time. I don't know what would have been if my wife didn't urge me in my stubbornness to get checked out, but I know Dr. Pou's job would have been a lot more difficult I chalked up the bloody stools to hemorrhoids, the weight loss to my connective tissue disease, and my bowel changes to one too many bourbons. The signs don't have to be obvious. I will forever be an advocate, not just for my health, but for your privilege of access to health care and preventative screenings."
Primary Care
"My wife and I have been using Dr. Pou for years. We love the “family” atmosphere and friendly staff. Professionals are top of the line, and take time to ease fears and answer questions. You leave the procedure with a complete analysis and pictures, as well as a copy of the report to your primary care person. In and out in 60-90 minutes with no sterile gurneys and anonymous hospital hallways, different faces every time you go in. High quality professional care with relaxed, patient-centered atmosphere. Rediscover a doctor patient relationship!"
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy lets your doctor examine the lining of your large intestine (colon) for abnormalities by inserting a thin flexible tube, as thick as your finger, into your anus and slowly advancing it into the rectum and colon. This instrument, called a colonoscope, has its own lens and light source and it allows your doctor to view images on a video monitor.
Infectious Diseases
For one, our instruments are smaller, affording greater comfort for patients and easier and quicker to use for physicians. Unlike other devices, they are single use and 100% disposable. This eliminates the risk of transferring infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis B and C from patient to patient due to inadequately sterilized instrumentation.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Someone with celiac disease may have a variety of the above symptoms and different people with celiac disease may have completely different symptoms. Celiac disease can mimic the symptoms of more common problems and be misdiagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It is now recommended that patients with symptoms be tested for celiac disease.

Internal Medicine
A gastroenterologist must first complete a three-year Internal Medicine residency and is then eligible for additional specialized training (fellowship) in Gastroenterology. This fellowship is generally 2-3 years long so by the time gastroenterologists have completed their training, they have had 5-6 years of additional specialized education following medical school.
Gastroenterology
"Dr. Pou joined our staff at a time when we had no official gastroenterology service, and since his arrival, has been involved in the development of the GI service as well as setting a reputation for quality and excellence that has helped the service grow in referrals."
Colon Cancer
Rob and Ryan want to break the stigma and get the word out that colon cancer is preventable.
Endoscopy
Upper Endoscopy — lets your doctor examine the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (first portion of the small intestine).

Thyroid
CD affects many ethnicities, whites with the highest prevalence in Caucasians. Infants and children may have celiac disease, but CD is more commonly diagnosed in adulthood, and people can be diagnosed even in their seventies or eighties. Females are more likely to be diagnosed with celiac disease than males. Individuals that have type 1 diabetes, thyroid disorders, or relatives with CD are at greater risk for developing CD.

Ultrasound
Some gastroenterologists also receive directed training in advanced procedures using endoscopes such as endoscopic biliary examination (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or ERCP), removal of tumors without surgery (endoscopic mucosal resection or EMR), placement of internal drainage tubes (stents) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). This provides them with the training necessary to non-surgically remove stones in the bile ducts, evaluate and treat tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and liver, and provide minimally invasive alternatives to surgery for some patients.
X-Rays
Chemotherapy
Danny Zollars was diagnosed with Stage 4 rectal cancer at the age of 33 and found to have liver and lung metastases. He underwent more than 30 surgeries and other procedures, 28 days of radiation therapy, weeks of hospital stays and months of chemotherapy to combat the disease.
Radiation Therapy

Ulcer
It involves a detailed understanding of the normal action (physiology) of the gastrointestinal organs including the movement of material through the stomach and intestine (motility), the digestion and absorption of nutrients into the body, removal of waste from the system, and the function of the liver as a digestive organ. It includes common and important conditions such as colon polyps and cancer, hepatitis, gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn), peptic ulcer disease, colitis, gallbladder and biliary tract disease, nutritional problems, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and pancreatitis. In essence, all normal activity and disease of the digestive organs is part of the study of Gastroenterology.
