I'd like to personally welcome you to the Eastern Connecticut Gastroenterology (ECGA) Web site! You've taken the first step toward achieving better gastrointestinal health.
As the primary physician at ECGA, I always get to know each patient to understand their health needs and concerns. I know that no two patients are the same, and that digestive and gastrointestinal issues can demonstrate a variety of symptoms. ECGA is dedicated to getting to the "root" of the problem by conducting thorough screening tests and keeping your other physicians up-to-date on your progress. Your referring physician will receive your information the next business day.
Our office is also networked with many specialists. If necessary, more than one physician will be able to review and evaluate your particular case. This ensures that you always receive the best possible care for your individual situation.
ECGA offers a full range of screening and diagnostic tests, including endoscopy, colonoscopy and non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment. ECGA also performs endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration, which allows for the least invasive evaluation and sampling of tissue and also allows for lung cancer screening. These procedures are performed at Manchester Memorial Hospital, Rockville General Hospital and St. Francis Hospital.
ECGA patients have also benefited from nutritional support , and ECGA has partnered with AIM100 Nutrition to provide patient education and scientifically-based natural therapies. When you visit, ask me if an AIM100 Nutrition provider would benefit you.
I invite you to explore this site and learn more about ECGA and contact us to set up an appointment. Most importantly, I look forward to helping you achieve better health.
Sincerely, Dr. Patrick Dorvilus
