Disorders of the gastrointestinal tract affect millions of people every day.

Millions of people deal with stomach aches, heartburn, and other digestive issues every day. These symptoms can be signs of common—or sometimes serious—gastrointestinal (GI) conditions.

At Ohio County Healthcare, our board-certified gastroenterologist, Dr. Charles Riccio, provides expert, compassionate care using the latest technology. Advances in endoscopy now allow Dr. Riccio and our skilled team to examine much of the GI tract, take biopsies, and treat many conditions—often without surgery.

At Ohio County Healthcare, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of GI care so you can get the answers—and the relief—you need.
