Gastroenterology
Your digestive health is essential to your overall well-being, and at Snoqualmie Valley Health, we understand how much digestive discomfort can affect your daily life. Whether you’re dealing with occasional indigestion or a chronic condition like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), these issues can make it difficult to enjoy everyday activities and can also impact your long-term health. We are dedicated to providing the compassionate and expert care you need to feel your best.
If you’re looking to take preventive steps, we also offer a Direct Access program for screening colonoscopies. This program is designed for healthy, age-appropriate individuals who prefer to schedule their screening without needing a preliminary office visit. This approach simplifies the process, making it easier for you to take a proactive role in your health.

Our gastroenterology team combines advanced technology with extensive experience to deliver top-quality care. We emphasize accurate testing, precise diagnosis, and effective treatment plans that are tailored to your specific needs. Our aim is to provide care that is not only effective but also as comfortable and reassuring as possible, so you can focus on what really matters—getting back to a healthier, happier you.
The health of your digestive system is a key component of your overall wellness. When your digestive system is functioning properly, it does more than just process food; it helps your body absorb nutrients, supports your immune system, and even affects your mood and energy levels. However, when something goes wrong—whether it’s GERD, IBS, or chronic indigestion—the effects can spread throughout your body, leading to more serious health problems over time. That’s why it’s important to address these symptoms early and manage them properly.
We offer comprehensive consultations, either through a referral from your primary care provider or by self-referral if your insurance allows. Our consultations are conveniently held at the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Clinic, where our specialists are ready to assist you in managing your digestive health.
Your health and comfort are our top priorities—let us help you on your path to better digestive health.
