Board-certified gastroenterologists Joshua Berkowitz, MD, and Zahava Farkas-Diskind, DO, have extensive training in cutting-edge technologies to uncover and treat the root cause of bloating, abdominal pain, food allergies, and other acute and chronic digestive issues.

The offices feature advanced testing, including endoscopy procedures to diagnose Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The physicians also specialize in routine colonoscopy procedures for colon cancer screenings and offer specialized treatments and preventive screenings for women through their women’s digestive care services.

The Island Digestive Care providers create treatment plans personalized to each individual’s needs. During extended visits, the physicians take the time needed to understand each person’s medical history, risk factors, and symptom severity without rushing.

A variety of advanced treatment strategies are available, including dietary counseling, lifestyle changes, medications, and minimally invasive surgery. The providers also recommend nutritional supplements to correct iron deficiencies and other side effects of malabsorption issues that result from gastrointestinal diseases and disorders.

In addition to providing superior in-office care, the Island Digestive Care physicians offer inpatient care in hospitals and ambulatory facilities. They collaborate with a network of medical professionals to develop a treatment plan and also provide aftercare services following discharge from a medical facility.

Flexible scheduling is available for all visits and the gastroenterologists provide same-day appointments for urgent medical situations. Staff maintain a welcoming, comfortable environment to optimize patient satisfaction.
