The Vanderbilt Digestive Disease Center (VDDC) is a state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment center. Our Center is staffed by highly trained internal medicine physicians with specialties in diseases of the digestive system, including the:

• esophagus
• stomach
• liver
• gallbladder
• pancreas
• small intestine
• large intestine (colon)

The VDDC is part of the Vanderbilt Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. We have three goals:

• to provide outstanding medical care to persons with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver;
• to train gastroenterologists; and
• to perform cutting-edge biomedical research to improve our understanding of digestive disease.

We apply a multidisciplinary approach to managing digestive disease. This means we incorporate the latest diagnostic procedures and treatment options to address each patient's individual needs.
