Santa Barbara, Calif.-based Sansum Clinic, now part of Sacramento, Calif.-based Sutter Health, has added gastroenterologist Mick Meiselman, MD, to its team, according to an April 16 report from the Santa Barbara Independent.
Dr. Meiselman is a board-certified gastroenterologist with extensive training and expertise in endoscopic ultrasound.
Endoscopic ultrasound allows physicians to view, evaluate and better diagnose GI conditions in the esophagus, stomach and nearby organs, like the pancreas and liver.
EUS is more accurate and saves patients time and money in the long run, according to the report.
In his role, Dr. Meiselman will be working with Sansum and community gastroenterologists, surgeons, oncologists and physicians when they notice areas of concern during imaging, or when they have patients with gastrointestinal symptoms that require further investigation.
He also serves as the director of advanced endoscopy at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.
