"This doctor doesn’t have his heart in the field. It shows. He doesn’t explain things throughly and is in a rush to get rid of you. I believe I saw the doctor for a total of maybe 3-4 mins and was billed over $250."

713-343-6360

Dr. Jignesh Shah specializes in adult gastroenterology and general pediatrics and practices in Houston, TX and Pearland, TX.

"I was scheduled for a procedure next week. Unfortunately, the staff was unable to answer rudimentary questions (estimate of the total cost of the procedure) so I will be spending my money elsewhere. I have scheduled an appointment with a different provider and the staff is much friendlier and helpful. My regrets: 1) the co pay fee I paid for the first visit; and 2) not being able to see Doctor Shah - he was very nice and seemed like a great doctor. But, there are a lot of GREAT doctors so the attitude and overall helpfulness of the staff is CRITICAL. "

What is Gastroenterology?

A gastroenterologist is a doctor that specializes in the normal function and diseases of the digestive tract, which includes the stomach, intestines, spleen, pancreas, and liver. As a specialty, gastroenterology is the study of how food moves through the body, how nutrients are absorbed by the body, and how waste is removed by the body. A few of the conditions that a gastroenterologist might treat are:

ulcerative colitis (a condition where inflammation and sores affect the lower intestine)
gallbladder disease (where bile stored in the gallbladder thickens and causes inflammation or gallstones)
gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD (stomach acid flows back into the throat and causes a burning sensation and tissue damage)

One unique trait that really sets gastroenterologists apart is their training and skill with endoscopy, a procedure where tiny flexible tubes are inserted into the body. These tubes are equipped with lights and cameras to provide the practitioner with a close, inside look at what is going on inside the patient's body. Tools can even be inserted through the tubes to perform certain procedures, such as removing polyps or cancers, stretching open passageways that have narrowed, or applying lasers to stop bleeding.

Gastroenterologists do not perform surgery, but they do perform endoscopic procedures, as well as biopsies to determine if cancer is affecting the digestive tract. Although other physicians can use endoscopes, gastroenterologists devote a significant portion of their medical training and practice to endoscopy. They learn how and when to use endoscopy, the safest and most efficient methods to use, and how to interpret what they see through the endoscope.
