IBS Circle

Our Center takes a holistic view of IBS. Beginning with a comprehensive analysis of the patient's symptoms and prior treatment, our treatment protocol looks at the experience and meaning of IBS in a person's life. We are concerned with how the mind and the body are linked, and the connections between IBS symptoms, family background, current relationships and ongoing sources of life stress. At the Center, we offer a comprehensive treatment program that includes gastroenterology, clinical psychology, group hypnotherapy, nutrition and acupuncture.

We offer you the latest research on IBS and many other resources.
