We're celebrating all of our wonderful coworkers in our reception, registration and billing departments. They always put our patients first and we appreciate them and the work they do to support this practice. THANK YOU ALL!
AGC's Dr. Gianotti joined Benita Zahn on #HealthBeat to discuss Crohn's Disease and a new study that gives some insight into what could be the best diet to help manage it. Check it out below! Thanks to WNYT NewsChannel 13 & Benita! https://wnyt.com//health-beat-chronrsquos-disease/6193824/
Did you know that the national rate for preventative colorectal cancer screenings has decreased by 86% during the pandemic? That is a shocking number considering that early detection is the key to treating this disease. In fact, with increased colorectal screening and state-of-the-art treatment, we can detect cancer at earlier and curable stages, helping patients lead longer and healthier lives. Albany Gastroenterology’s own Joseph Choma, MD, wrote about the importance of early detection and some state-of-the-art, minimally-invasive treatments in the article below for St Peter’s Health Partners News. We hope you'll read the article and then call us at 518-533-5000 for your screening. http://news.sphp.com//livesmart-minimally-invasive-endosc/
