"Digestive symptoms are common, but they shouldn't be ignored or silently endured," says Dr. Meryann Corzo, UTMB Health primary care provider.
Many digestive concerns are a routine part of primary care visits, and many can be diagnosed and managed without needing immediate specialty care. At the same time, UTMB Health providers are trained to recognize when symptoms may indicate more complex gastrointestinal, liver or nutritional disorders, ensuring patients are referred to specialists when appropriate.
Starting with a primary care physician ensures concerns are addressed early, with access to a broader network of specialists if needed. In many cases, that proactive approach leads to faster answers, more effective treatment and greater peace of mind.
