Liver Specialists of Texas: Our Services
Liver Specialists of Texas continues to offer comprehensive care for patients with digestive and liver disorders. Led by Dr. Joseph S. Galati, who has been serving the community at the Texas Medical Center for over 30 years, our team is committed to excellence in patient care.
Our state-of-the-art facility in Scurlock Tower spans 4,566 square feet and includes seven examination rooms, a patient and family education classroom, physician consultation offices, and a comfortable waiting area. Our friendly staff is ready to meet all of your healthcare needs, ensuring a seamless experience for every patient. Here, we conduct thorough outpatient consultations, gather detailed medical histories, and perform comprehensive physical examinations. We carefully review prior medical records, x-rays, and liver biopsies, discussing relevant findings directly with our patients. A full report is promptly prepared and sent to your referring physician upon the completion of your visit. We also offer interpreter services for our international guests.
At our clinic, we perform abdominal ultrasounds, an essential procedure for diagnosing liver and digestive conditions. Additionally, we provide Liver Fibroscan services, a non-invasive method to assess liver fat and fibrosis levels, crucial for patients with Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD).
Our diverse team of healthcare providers offers tailored nutritional guidance to support various health goals, including managing weight, treating fatty liver disease, addressing GI disorders, and tackling metabolic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. We also offer a physician-supervised weight loss program to help patients achieve their health objectives effectively.
At our clinic, we prioritize the health and well-being of our liver disease patients. For those requiring hospitalization due to more complex conditions, they are admitted exclusively to Houston Methodist Hospital, conveniently located directly across Fannin Street and connected to Scurlock Tower. The Methodist Hospital is recognized as one of the premier hospitals within the Texas Medical Center and is renowned for its DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center. Consistently ranked among the best hospitals in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, The Methodist Hospital boasts a dedicated team of specialists who collaborate closely to provide exceptional care for liver patients.
For outpatient endoscopic procedures, patients are directed to the Texas International Endoscopy Center (TIEC). At TIEC, we perform a variety of day surgeries, including liver biopsies, upper endoscopies, and colonoscopies. Our nursing staff is committed to ensuring that your brief visit is comfortable and efficient, treating every patient with the utmost care and respect.
