Esophageal Program
Loyola Medicine’s Esophageal Program—housed within the Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition—delivers comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for a full spectrum of esophageal disorders. Our team of gastroenterologists, interventional endoscopists, speech pathologists, pulmonologists, and rheumatologists collaborate seamlessly to diagnose and treat conditions ranging from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) to motility disorders like achalasia and diffuse esophageal spasm. Loyola’s status as one of the few U.S. centers dedicated to swallowing and esophageal health, along with U.S. News & World Report recognition, reflects our deep commitment to excellence and innovation.
In addition to delivering state-of-the-art clinical care, Loyola’s program is actively engaged in cutting edge research aimed at improving diagnostics, refining therapies, and enhancing patient quality of life. As part of an academic medical center, our experts also serve as educators and mentors, training the next generation of gastroenterologists in a robust fellowship that immerses trainees in complex esophageal disease management.
