Gut FEELING

Dealing with digestive problems can be both painful and stressful. When a digestive problem arises, you need to put your care in the hands of an experienced gastroenterologist.

Fortunately, South Lake Gastroenterology has an outstanding team of physicians who effectively diagnose and treat your condition, listen to your concerns and needs and counsel you on the best ways to maintain and improve your health.

In addition to board-certified gastroenterologists, the practice also features a highly trained team of nurses and employees. All work in collaboration to ensure patients achieve optimal results. It’s truly a practice where old-fashioned,hometown care meets innovative, cutting-edge treatments.

South Lake Gastroenterology treats various digestive disorders of the esophagus, small intestine, stomach, colon, pancreas, liver and biliary system. In addition, patients can go there for colon cancer screening and a 10-minute, in-office hemorrhoid treatment.

They also treat other disorders such as hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. The physicians at South Lake Gastroenterology are among a select few to utilize ERCP, a procedure where they use a long, flexible tube with lights and cameras to remove gallstones from the bile duct. Moreover, the physicians have access to emerging technologies often unavailable at other gastroenterology practices, such as Bravo pH monitoring and HALO ablation for Barrett’s Esophagus. They also use a state-ofthe-art Anorectal Manometry and Biofeedback system to treat pelvic floor dysfunction.

With so many procedures offered under one roof, it’s no surprise that the practice has grown considerably since opening in 1997. In addition to Clermont, South Lake Gastroenterology also has offices in Ocoee and Davenport.

The Davenport office, which is located in Polk County, will be operated by the practice’s newest physician, Dr. Fadi Rahhal. He completed both his residency in internal medicine and his fellowship in gastroenterology at the Medical College of Georgia. He is board-certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology by the American Board of Internal Medicine. He can also speak fluent French and Arabic.

Dr. Rahhal is a fantastic addition to the practice because he shares the same philosophy of providing personalized, compassionate care when it comes to managing digestive diseases.

South Lake Gastroenterology is located at 2040 Oakley Seaver Drive in Clermont and 2320 North Boulevard in Davenport. For more information, please call 352.242.1665 (clermont) or 863.547.9610 (Davenport). You can also visit www.slgdocs.com.
