Hepatology

Hepatology diagnoses and treats diseases associated with the gallbladder, pancreas and liver. A hepatologist will diagnose, treat and care for people who have disorders, including malignancy of their liver, gallbladder or bile ducts.

The Hepatology Clinic will provide you with a thorough, timely cost-effective evaluation of your liver disorder and deliver specific care based on your needs. Dr. Alao has the experience and expertise to accurately diagnose and offer world-class treatments for all forms of liver disease.
