Patient Education Brochures

The Clinical Practice and Education Committees have developed over 12 patient education brochures on common topics such as constipation, gastroparesis, GERD, IBS, etc and on common procedures such as esophageal/anorectal manometry, pH testing or biofeedback therapy that will be extremely beneficial to patients. Given that there is misinformation and poor understanding of these conditions, and very little authoritative information on these topics or procedures, these brochures should fill a much-needed void for our patients. They can be purchased for a nominal fee. To view the topics and place your order go to the Brochure / Handout Order Form.
