Gastrointestinal (GI) Pain Clinic

Why Choose Us: The Gastrointestinal (GI) Pain Clinic at Stanford Health Care

Since 2011, we have been helping patients manage pain from undiagnosed causes, as well as complex conditions, including gastroparesis and bowel obstruction. Our goal is to help you quickly gain access to pain specialists and create a personalized pain management plan, so you can start feeling better and get back to your busy lifestyle.

Recognized by the American Pain Society as a Clinical Center of Excellence, our large team of pain management specialists draws from a broad range of treatments to help manage your symptoms. Some of our innovative treatments include new therapies that focus on controlling activity in very specific areas of your nervous system.

Abdominal pain is the result of complex processes affecting multiple systems within your body. What sets our program apart is our coordinated approach to care. Instead of going to multiple specialists, our team comes together to deliver a comprehensive evaluation in just one visit.

Depending on your symptoms, your team may include a:

• Gastroenterologist
• Pain medicine physician
• Pain psychologist
• Physical therapist
• Nutritionist

Our physicians meet on a regular basis to discuss each patient’s case individually. Our experts consider all the factors that could be responsible for your condition and develop a treatment plan that’s tailored to meet your specific needs. We share this information with you, so you can feel comfortable about your treatment options and know what to expect.
