Digestive Disease Specialist Serving Brookshire, TX

Digestive diseases affect any part of the gastrointestinal system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, and they range widely in severity. A bout of heartburn or occasional bloating may be harmless, but persistent symptoms can signal something more significant, such as inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, or colorectal cancer. For Brookshire residents, having a gastroenterologist within convenient reach means these concerns can be evaluated early, before they progress.

We diagnose and manage the digestive conditions that most commonly affect Brookshire-area patients, including:

• Acid reflux & GERD: Relief from recurring heartburn and the complications of untreated reflux.
• Colorectal cancer screening: Life-saving screening colonoscopy for early detection and prevention.
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): Tailored management of bloating, cramping, and irregular bowel patterns.
• Crohn's disease & ulcerative colitis: Specialized, ongoing care for inflammatory bowel disease.
• Liver conditions: Assessment and treatment of fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and elevated liver enzymes.
• Gallbladder & pancreatic issues: Care for gallstones, pancreatitis, and related disorders.

Rural and suburban patients alike sometimes wait too long to have digestive symptoms checked. We urge Brookshire residents not to ignore ongoing abdominal pain, blood in the stool or black, tarry stools, or weight loss without a clear cause. Chronic diarrhea or constipation, difficulty swallowing, persistent nausea or vomiting, and bloating that will not resolve all warrant a closer look, as does heartburn that strikes more than twice a week, a common marker of GERD. Catching these signs early makes diagnosis simpler and treatment more effective.

Getting to the source of a digestive problem calls for reliable diagnostics. United Gastroenterology Associates, PLLC provides Brookshire patients with a complete range of testing, including:

• Colonoscopy: Thorough screening and diagnosis for the colon and rectum.
• Upper endoscopy (EGD): Minimally invasive examination of the esophagus and stomach.
• Capsule endoscopy: Small-bowel imaging with an easy-to-swallow camera capsule.
• FibroScan: Painless assessment of liver stiffness and fat content.
• Blood and stool testing: Focused lab work to confirm a diagnosis.

• Experienced specialist: Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan brings board certification in gastroenterology and hepatology, along with years of clinical and academic experience.
• Genuinely convenient: Our Katy office sits just east of Brookshire along I-10, and telehealth visits are available when travel is not ideal.

• Up-to-date technology: Modern endoscopic and imaging equipment supports precise diagnosis and treatment.
• Care that fits you: Personalized plans shaped by your symptoms, history, and goals.
