EXCELLENCE IN GASTROINTESTINAL HEALTHCARE SINCE 1989

Digestive Disease Group consists of Board-Certified Gastroenterologists providing exceptional care in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of digestive system diseases. We are the only Lakeland’s area licensed and accredited Gl outpatient facility. The Greenwood Endoscopy Center offers a safe, comfortable, easily accessible environment for Colonoscopy and Upper Endoscopy at about one-fourth the cost of a traditional hospital outpatient setting.
