Swallowing, reflux, stomach, and esophageal disorders often don’t fall neatly into one category — and neither should the care. That’s why Hartford HealthCare’s Digestive Health Institute offers a dedicated service focused on helping patients with these conditions get timely evaluation, testing, and treatment, no matter where they enter our system.
This service was developed in response to a growing need: patients struggling with persistent heartburn, swallowing difficulty, chest discomfort, or regurgitation often face long delays, fragmented care, or are passed between specialties without clear answers. We saw an opportunity to streamline that experience.
By aligning expertise from across the Institute — including Gastroenterology, Surgery, Speech-Language Pathology, Nutrition, Behavioral Health and more — we’ve built a coordinated pathway that ensures patients get the right care in the right setting, guided by specialists who understand the nuances of these wide range of symptoms and disorders.
Our goal is simple: to help you feel better, faster — with coordinate care that brings the right team together when it matters most.
This expertise is available across multiple Digestive Health locations, and we continue to evolve as best practices, diagnostics, and treatment options advance.
