Gastro Arkansas

Gastro Arkansas Our Mission at GastroArkansas is to provide high quality, cost effective, medically necessary health GastroArkansas has been in business for forty-one years.

GastroArkansas, PA was the first multi-physician group specializing in the practice of gastroenterology in the state of Arkansas. We specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of gastrointestinal diseases. All physicians are Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology and are serving the people of Arkansas with clinic locations in Little Rock and North Little Rock. Our endoscopy centers were designed with quality and convenience in mind. Both centers specialize in therapeutic and diagnostic endoscopy procedures and are committed to providing patients the highest standard of care. GastroArkansas’ in-center sedation service allows you to experience the safest level of sedation and comfort during a procedure. This is extremely uncommon in a hospital setting as anesthesia services are only used upon request. GastroArkansas utilizes pathologists who specialize in gastroenterology. Many hospitals have general pathology services, but often there is no pathologist whose singular focus is gastroenterology.
