Our hepatology services begin with a detailed consultation and comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, symptoms, and any previous test results. Our specialists may further recommend additional diagnostic tests, including blood tests, imaging scans, liver biopsies, or advanced procedures, to obtain a detailed understanding of your liver health and to develop a customized treatment plan.
Once a diagnosis is confirmed, our dedicated team will work closely with you to design an individualized treatment approach. Treatment options for liver disease may vary depending on the specific condition, severity, and underlying causes. Our experts will explain all available options and collaborate with you to develop a comprehensive plan that may include:
