Gastro Center NJ, based in West Orange, New Jersey, has announced that they are a full-service medical clinic for all gastrointestinal tract health conditions. They have highly trained professional gastroenterologists who use modern diagnostic procedures and treatment practices to deal with various digestive disorders and accommodate the unique needs of each patient.

A spokesperson for Gastro Center NJ says, “One of the most crucial parts of your body is your digestive system, and keeping it running at optimal efficiency is essential towards maintaining your health. Letting your digestive system deteriorate can lead to both embarrassing and serious results, but dealing with digestive disorders on your own might be overwhelming at times.”

Our highly trained professional gastroenterologists treat our patients with the most modern approaches and the most advanced medical technologies. We work towards accommodating the unique needs of every patient. We understand the value of health and happiness for your body and mind.”

At Gastro Center NJ, they provide treatment for various kinds of digestive or gastrointestinal tract issues. These include liver disease, celiac disease, colon cancer, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease, colon polyps, hepatitis, pancreatitis, hemorrhoids, colitis, gallbladder disease, peptic ulcers, and more.

Theodore A. DaCosta, MD serves as gastroenterologist and specialist in internal medicine at Gastro Center NJ. He has more than 29 years of experience in his chosen fields of medicine and he has won various awards, including the NJ TopDocs Top Doctor 2019 award, Compassionate Doctor Recognition in 2018, Patients’ Choice Award in 2018, Healthcare Heroes Award-UHIP in 2018 and 2015, Hermes Award in 2017 for UHIP Program to Redefine and Reinvent Healthcare in African American and Latino Communities, and more.

Dr. DaCosta is also a member of the American Medical Association, College of Gastroenterology Medical Society of New Jersey, and the New Jersey Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Society.

People are understandably reluctant to visit a gastroenterology clinic or endoscopy center. However, a stomach specialist is the one who is best equipped for diagnosing and treating the broadest range of symptoms related to the gastrointestinal tract. Dr. DaCosta wants to emphasize that early detection is critical to make sure that the condition can be treated before it becomes irreversible. A gastroenterologist will discuss the patients’ condition with their regular doctor in order to ensure a supportive and continuous treatment plan.

Regular physicians will refer patients to gastroenterologists when they require routine tests or particular procedures. These include colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, hemorrhoid ablation, upper endoscopy, and anorectal manometry.

Colonoscopy is commonly performed on patients over the age of 45 to test for colorectal cancer. It can also be used to test for polyps. Capsule endoscopy uses a small camera to take photos inside the patient’s digestive system. Here, the camera is placed inside a capsule and is swallowed by the patient. Hemorrhoid ablation makes use of infrared light to heal hemorrhoids. Upper endoscopy is used to check on the esophagus and other parts of the upper gastrointestinal tract. In anorectal manometry, the muscles of the anus and rectum are examined to find the causes of fecal incontinence.

Patients of the Gastro Center NJ have mostly positive things to say about the clinic. For instance, James K. said, “I’ve had sporadic stomach cramps and gassiness for as long as I can remember. For the longest time, I was convinced I had colon cancer. I went to Dr. DaCosta and he screened me immediately. The results came out negative but he was able to help me out in the end. Turns out I was experiencing severe episodic constipation so he recommended a new diet for me. I honestly feel so much better now thanks to him.”
