Digestive Disease Institute: Medical Center

Why Choose Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s Digestive Disease Institute?

The Digestive Disease Institute at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi provides the most advanced level of medical and surgical care for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, ranging from irritable bowel syndrome to colorectal cancer.

Our institute is modeled on best practice from US-based Cleveland Clinic’s digestive diseases program, one of the top two US hospitals in the field. Uniting a range of specialists in gastroenterology, nutrition, hepatology, colorectal surgery, bariatric surgery, hepato-pancreato-biliary and transplant surgery, we are able to offer a fully integrated model of care and to optimize the patient experience.

The institute is proud to be at the very forefront of many medical and surgical innovations, offering faster, more effective diagnostics and better outcomes for our patients. We were the first institute in the Middle East to offer peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), a minimally invasive alternative to laparoscopic surgery, and we are at the forefront of advancing colorectal cancer care by offering the region’s largest artificial intelligence (AI) colonoscopy center.
