Welcome Letter from Director
The Columbia University Pancreas Center is founded on the principle that treatment of pancreas disorders demands a commitment to collaboration in patient care. In addition to upholding an exacting standard of compassionate, team-oriented clinical medicine at the Center, we deeply value the insights of medical research and continually pursue new avenues of diagnosis and treatment. These are some of the reasons patients come to us from all over the world.
As part of the Columbia University Medical Center, we are fortunate to have some of the best practitioners in every medical discipline. Here, the expertise and skill of pancreatic surgeons, radiologists, oncologists, interventional endoscopists, and oncological gastroenterologists come together to meet the diagnosis, intervention, prevention, and treatment needs of each patient.
The expertise of the practitioners at the Center, together with the benefits gained from being part of a large institution with a track record of excellence in research and patient care, make it possible for us to maintain our position at the forefront of imaging applications, surgical techniques, risk stratification, screening, and early detection of pancreatic disorders.
This website has been developed to explain what we know about pancreatic diseases, how we diagnose these problems, and what treatment options are available at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center. Important information on the intricacies of choosing a surgeon and specific questions to ask in the process are also available at this site, as well as summaries of our ongoing scientific and clinical research and a library of useful links. Finally, you can learn about the members of our clinical team and how to contact us.
