Welcome to the medical practice of Dennis Dahlstedt, M.D.! Our practice is limited to Gastroenterology, a medical specialty pertaining to the digestive system.  Gastroenterologists diagnose and treat disorders of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, liver, and pancreas. 

A large portion of our practice includes endoscopic screening of the large intestine (colon) for the detection and prevention of cancer.  We also see patients who have diarrhea, constipation, bleeding, abdominal pain, chest pain, swallowing complications, unexplained anemia, liver disease, and other symptoms. We have a special interest in inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis).

Our practice has just recently implemented a revolutionary new procedure in GI endoscopy known as the Capsule Endoscopy. Using a vitamin-pill sized video capsule as an endoscope, the physician has the ability to examine the small intestine as never before. The capsule will travel throughout the patient’s body, capturing two images a second, which are sent to a data recorder attached to the waist belt and are examined by the physician. Currently, we are the only office in the area to provide such a service and our staff has been specially trained to administer this procedure for our patients.

We believe that patients have a right to expect the highest quality of care, delivered in an efficient, cost conscious manner.  Every individual, patient, or employee should be treated with dignity and respect. We strive to provide prompt, quality service to patients. Every patient deserves to be treated with the utmost in care and concern. We will do everything in our ability to make sure this happens. We have just updated our Privacy Policy according to the new HIPPA Guidelines.
