General Practitioners

Primary Care
If your insurance plan requires one, it is your responsibility as a patient to provide us with a current authorization/referral. Please contact your primary care physician in advance to allow sufficient time for us to receive the authorization. If no authorization is received prior to the time of your appointment, your appointment will be rescheduled for a later date.
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is an examination by direct visualization of your large intestine (colon) with a lighted, flexible instrument called a colonoscope. The colonoscope enables your doctor to visualize the large intestine (colon), remove abnormal tissue and pass special instruments to perform biopsies or other specialized procedures
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Dr. Nguyen is originally from Vietnam and grew up in the Houston area. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Houston, attended medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and completed her internship, residency and fellowship at Texas A&M/Scott & White in Temple, Texas. Dr. Nguyen enjoys working at Digestive and Liver Specialists because of the diverse patient population and the range of diseases tackled. She enjoys getting to know patients and providing individualized care. Dr. Nguyen treats the full spectrum of gastroenterological disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, as well as irritable bowel syndrome. In addition, she has a special interest in women’s health and believes in the importance of colorectal cancer screening.
Electrocardiogram
Although, colonoscopies are performed when patients are hospitalized, most colonoscopies are done on an outpatient basis. Once you arrive at the facility and have checked in, you will taken back to the “pre-op” area. There, the nurses will have you change into a cloth patient gown, take your history, check your pulse and blood pressure and start an “IV”. When it is your time to have the colonoscopy, you will taken to the procedure room, where the nurses will monitor your to blood pressure, EKG and blood oxygen level. This monitoring will continue throughout your exam. Your physician will greet you here and after you have had an opportunity to ask questions, your sedation will begin.

Internal Medicine
Dr. Khandwalla received his medical degree at the Aga Khan University in Pakistan. He moved to Houston in 2000, and completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Texas, Houston. Following his training in Internal Medicine, he practiced as a hospitalist at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital and the Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center. While there, he was on the teaching service with academic appointments with the University of Texas and Baylor College of Medicine.
Gastroenterology
While at UTMB, Dr. Kline performed basic science research focused on better understanding the acquired genetic changes which predispose individuals to inflammatory bowel disease. His clinical research focused on optimizing the electronic medical record to improve care for his patients. His work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented nationally at gastroenterology conferences.
Colon Cancer
Dr. Kline enjoys building longitudinal relationships with his patients where he can develop personalized treatment plans for their gastroenterological conditions. His interests span the spectrum of pathologies within gastroenterology and include high quality colon cancer screening, eosinophilic esophagitis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Endoscopy
The term “endoscopy” refers to a special technique for looking inside a part of the body. “Upper GI” is the portion of the gastrointestinal tract, the digestive system, that includes the esophagus, the stomach, and the duodenum, the beginning of the small intestine. The esophagus carries food from the mouth for digestion in the stomach and small intestine.

Ultrasound
An endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) may be performed to evaluate abnormalities in the wall of the intestine, or abnormalities in other organs such as the pancreas, biliary system, and chest. The EUS is often used to help stage cancer.
MRI
You should not undergo a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examination or be near any powerful magnetic fields (such as amateur or ham radio) until after the capsule is excreted. Doing so could result in serious damage to your intestinal tract and abdominal cavity. â€‹
X-Rays

Ulcer
In some cases, it may be necessary to take a sample of tissue, called a biopsy, for later examination under the microscope. This, too, is a painless procedure. In other cases, the endoscope can be used to treat a problem such as active bleeding from an ulcer.
