Our gastroenterologists and hepatologists receive referrals from all over Chicagoland and surrounding states. Led by John Affronti, MD, professor, medicine, gastroenterology, and medical director, advanced endoscopy, our team is able to treat patients with complex conditions using specialized treatments and minimally invasive diagnostic tests such as EUS.
EUS is especially important because it spares the patient a surgical biopsy.
