Expert Treatment for Pancreatic and Hepatobiliary Disease

At the USC Pancreatic and Hepatobiliary Disease Center, our experts specialize in diseases of the liver, kidneys and pancreas. We provide compassionate, uncompromising, state-of-the art care ranging from nonsurgical to minimally invasive surgical options.

Our gastroenterologists and surgeons work collaboratively from the start to diagnose and treat disorders of the pancreas and the biliary tree. Together with oncologists, radiologists, anesthesiologists, rheumatologists and other specialists, our pancreaticobiliary surgeons, advanced endoscopists and medical pancreatologists diagnose and treat the most complex conditions.

Other gastroenterologists and oncologists regularly refer their patients to the USC Pancreatic and Hepatobiliary Disease Center because of our vast experience in diagnosing and treating pancreatic, liver and kidney diseases.
