Arizona Centers For Digestive Health

What Arizona Centers For Digestive Health does

Arizona Centers For Digestive Health (AZCDH) is a physician-owned gastroenterology medical practice based in Gilbert, Arizona, operating two office locations in Gilbert and West Phoenix and serving adult patients with digestive health conditions across the Phoenix metropolitan area. The practice's core service line spans diagnostic endoscopy (colonoscopy and upper endoscopy/EGD) through advanced therapeutic procedures including capsule endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and the TIF 2.0 (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication) procedure for GERD. Patient care is delivered by a team of 18 board-certified, fellowship-trained gastroenterologists supported by advanced practitioners (physician assistants and nurse practitioners), with several senior physicians holding academic appointments and prior leadership positions at Mayo Clinic, Loma Linda, Creighton, and the University of Arizona.

The practice generates revenue from professional services fees, facility fees from its embedded Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC), and anesthesia services, billed through insurance under three separate billing lines (ASC, Anesthesia, Practice). It is affiliated with Abrazo Medical Group, part of the Tenet Healthcare network, which provides billing infrastructure, HIPAA compliance integration, and operational alignment, while physicians retain ownership and investment interests in the facility. Patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals, the open-access endoscopy program that enables direct referrals from primary care and specialist providers, and self-serve channels including telehealth virtual visits and online appointment requests.

The practice positions itself on clinical talent depth, breadth of advanced therapeutic endoscopy capabilities, and convenience (multiple locations, telehealth, open-access scheduling). Recognition includes consecutive Top Doctor awards from 2018 through 2021, Castle Connolly America's Top Doctors, and America's Top Gastroenterologists recognition, supporting patient and referring-provider trust. The technology stack is clinical rather than platform-driven, with the practice using gMed for gastroenterology practice management. No AI/ML capabilities, external funding, or M&A activity is disclosed.
