Established in 2007 through a merger of Digestive Care Associates and Northwest Gastroenterology Associates, GI Specialists of Georgia operates nine office locations and three dedicated endoscopy centers across Northwest Atlanta. The practice is staffed by board-certified gastroenterologists who diagnose and treat disorders of the digestive tract, liver, stomach, gallbladder, and pancreas using evidence-based medicine and advanced procedural technology.
General gastrointestinal services include colonoscopies, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, capsule endoscopy, anorectal manometry, esophageal manometry, hemorrhoidal banding, and Bravo pH monitor testing. Conditions treated include acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, dysphagia, hepatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, microscopic colitis, colorectal cancer, and Helicobacter pylori infection. Advanced procedural capabilities include endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic ultrasound, Spyglass cholangioscopy, enteroscopy, gastroparesis treatment, InterStim therapy, and liver biopsy. Imaging services cover standard ultrasound and Fibroscan testing for liver assessment. Additional services include infusion therapy, anesthesia coordination, and hepatology care.

Supporting services include in-house pathology lab work and telehealth consultations. The practice partners with Gifthealth Pharmacy for colonoscopy preparation supplies. Each patient is assigned an individualized treatment plan, and physicians coordinate with primary care providers to support integrated care management.
Patient experience features include an online patient portal for scheduling and records access, digital intake forms, online bill pay, and a daily post-visit survey system used to monitor service quality across all nine locations. Online appointment scheduling and digital bill management are available through the portal. Early colon cancer detection is identified as a central clinical priority. The practice serves the Douglasville and Northwest Atlanta areas as its core territory, with all nine offices and three endoscopy centers providing patients access to specialist care across a wide geographic service area.
