TAKING PRIDE IN PATIENT CARE

Advanced Gastroenterology and Surgery Associates is a cohesive team of knowledgeable and skilled professionals with advanced training who share a common goal—to always have the patient’s best interest at heart. The practice specializes in the diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of a variety of issues in digestive, gastrointestinal, and liver diseases. Doctors in the practice include: gastroenterologists Dr. Lily Tran, Dr. Garth George, and Dr. Tri Huynh; general and thoracic surgeon, Dr. MaoHao Charlie Han; and pathologist, Dr. Thomas Techman.

Because of the variety of the doctors’ specialties in the practice, Advanced Gastroenterology and Surgery Associates are uniquely qualified to assess, diagnose through collaboration, and treat colon cancer, diverticular disease, chronic HCV infection, chronic HBV infection, various liver diseases, GERD/Barrett’s esophagus/PUD, IBS, chronic constipation or diarrhea, biliary/pancreatic problems, and many other digestive issues.

“Having a pathologist in the practice allows for faster return of results and obtaining an expedient surgical consult, if necessary, could be a matter of life and death,” says Dr. Tran.

According to Dr. George, “One of the most common conditions we find is colon cancer. Screening for colon cancer actually saves lives. There are few diseases out there that can be effectively prevented with screening. Colon cancer is one of them. Being a part of the effort to reduce the death rate for the No. 2 cancer killer in America is very gratifying.”

Patients of Advanced Gastroenterology and Surgery Associates are treated like family. “The culture of our practice is to treat patients with kindness, respect, and excellence. We like to think of each patient as a family member and ask ourselves, ’What would we do if this was my father, my mother, my sister, or brother?’” says Dr. Huynh.

The practice prides itself on its personal approach to patients’ needs through accessibility. “We are always available to address any question from our patients. This is very important. When someone is sick, they should be able to access medical care and answers as soon as possible. Our patients have the ability to access their medical records via internet, and they can communicate with physicians and staff directly online,” says Dr. Huynh.

The practice has three offices with a broad coverage of Lake County including The Villages, Leesburg, and Clermont. The offices have fully accredited endoscopy centers with full anesthesia capabilities and our physicians are privileged at three hospitals: South Lake Hospital, Leesburg Regional Medical Center, and The Villages Regional Hospital.
