Stanford's Benign Pancreas Program provides comprehensive care to patients with acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cysts. Our program is comprised of faculty from gastroenterology, pancreatic surgery, pain management and nutrition services. The collaborative nature of our program means that patient care is promptly and carefully managed with insight from the appropriate specialists.
Walter Park, MD, was a government major who did not like the smell of hospitals. Once he was in medical school, however, he changed his mind. It was the pain he saw in people with GI disorders that led him to clinical research and practice at the Stanford Benign Pancreas Program.
If the pancreas is not working, we have fewer digestive enzymes to break down fat and insulin to control blood sugar. In this video, Stanford Health Care's Neha Shah, MPH, RD, an expert in digestive health nutrition, shares her advice on how to manage these challenges.
