U.S. News & World Report 2025 BadgeWhy Choose Hackensack Meridian Health

Hackensack University Medical Center has a Top 10 Gastroenterology & GI Surgery program in the NY-NJ Metro Area, as named by U.S. News & World Report 2025-2026. Our gastroenterology team is focused on prevention and helping you understand which screenings are right for you.

These screenings are critical, as early diagnosis of cancers associated with the liver, pancreas, built duct and other gastrointestinal areas allow for a broader range of treatment options.

Family-Focused, Coordinated Care

If you or a loved one suffer from a range of stomach disorders that can affect daily living and quality of life, our consultative services may be able to help. We’re committed to family-focused, coordinated care – that means we consult with all members of the patient’s health care team as well as the family to determine the best course of treatment.

Our gastroenterology specialists are dedicated to diagnosing and treating conditions, including:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Celiac disease
  • Diarrhea and constipation
  • Food allergies
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis)
  • Liver problems
  • Pancreatic disease

Access to the Latest Gastroenterology Advancements

Our gastroenterologists are the only physicians in New Jersey to perform a highly specialized procedure to treat pancreas tumors and cysts.

For example, Hackensack University Medical Center is one of only four institutions in the world that is participating in a unique genetic trial for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
