San Diego digestive health and liver health

We provide a full range of gastroenterology and hepatology services at locations across San Diego, making it easy for you to get the care you need, when you need it.

Gastroenterology services are available at our four acute-care hospitals — Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, Sharp Coronado Hospital, Sharp Grossmont Hospital and Sharp Memorial Hospital. We treat patients who need liver care at our Sharp Chula Vista, Grossmont and Memorial locations.

There are two simple ways to find the right doctor for you: 

• Search online for a doctor with our quick, easy-to-use Find a Doctor tool. 

• Call 1-800-82-SHARP (1-800-827-4277), Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, to speak with one of our specially trained physician referral specialists. They know our doctors and can help you find the perfect fit.

In some cases, you will need a referral from your primary care doctor.  

Some medical groups offer direct access to certain types of specialists. And some health plans, such as PPOs, offer direct access to all specialists. Contact your health plan's member services department to confirm your coverage. 

If you are an existing patient with a Sharp-affiliated gastroenterologist or hepatobiliary surgeon (meaning you have seen your doctor at least once), you can call the doctor’s office to make an appointment.

Sharp accepts almost all health insurance plans, including Medicare, Medi-Cal and most managed care and private insurance plans.  

Be sure to check with your insurance company to verify specific coverage. Insurance companies frequently add new plans, and update provider networks and covered services under existing plans.
