Cooper University Hospital brings its experts in gastrointestinal (GI) diseases and disorders to a brand new outpatient facility located in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.  The first free-standing institute dedicated solely to digestive health in South Jersey, Cooper consolidates its top GI specialists into one comprehensive location.

The Cooper Digestive Health Institute offers patients convenience, the most advanced technology, and the skills of the best physicians in the region. The Institute provides patients with the most advanced testing and treatment options in a state-of-the-art outpatient facility. 

Offering a full range of gastrointestinal services, the Institute is staffed by expert physicians and specially trained nurses who are committed to implementing innovative medical techniques and maintaining excellence in patient care.

“The Cooper Digestive Health Institute is the largest outpatient gastroenterology center in South Jersey,” said Steven R. Peikin, M.D., Director of the new Cooper Digestive Health Institute, and author of Gastrointestinal Health, a comprehensive guide to digestive disorders. “The physicians of the Cooper Digestive Health Institute perform many complex procedures that previously required hospital stays and, in some cases, surgery. Our goal is to always provide superior care that returns patients to their activities of daily living quickly and with less pain.”

    Cooper gastroenterologists diagnose and treat complex disorders and diseases of the digestive tract which include esophageal disorders; ulcer disease; gastrointestinal cancer; disorders of the gallbladder, liver and pancreas; inflammatory bowel disease; irritable bowel syndrome and other related disorders. 

    The Cooper Digestive Health Institute has been carefully designed to offer patients the most technologically-advanced procedure rooms, private patient-centered areas for procedure preparation and recovery.   High definition imaging technology allows for improved structural enhancement, capillary visualization and lesion differentiation, keys to accurate diagnoses and treatment. Physician and staff expertise also allows the Institute to perform advanced procedures such as ERCP, Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in a comfortable outpatient setting.
