The experts at USF Health have created a program that offers coordinated care for all of our patients. The USF Health Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center is a community of specialized healthcare providers trained in the field of IBD ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease.
As the only academic medical center on the west coast of Florida, we are able to provide cutting-edge treatment, technology, and research.
The conditions treated include:
At USF Health our goal is to make life better. We recognize that IBD is a complex disease and often requires care from multiple providers in different specialties. Patients treated at the IBD Center receive continuity of care as we work closely and collectively with colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists, and nutritionists.
We are building a true IBD home with a goal to coordinate care for all of our patients with a dietitian, social worker, primary care provider and obstetrician long term. Resources such as imaging, endoscopy, pathology, and consult services are available all in a coordinated care approach.
Our team of dedicated experts provides comprehensive care using state-of of-the the-art treatment and disease management approaches focused on IBD. Coordinated care and specialized services allow us to offer our patients customized care plans and to suit their individual needs and lifestyle. We treat the whole person to help ensure the best possible outcomes.
