Overview

I am a general gastroenterologist, and I perform a wide range of procedures including colonoscopy and upper endoscopy. In the office, I see patients with small bowel, stomach, and esophageal and colonic digestive diseases. I have a particular interest in treating small bowel diseases, such as celiac and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. I also perform procedures for specialized evaluation of the small bowel, such as capsule endoscopy and device-assisted enteroscopy, including double balloon enteroscopy. I enjoy getting to know my patients and practice a collaborative approach to care and medical decision-making.

Dr. Vance is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Lower Esophageal Ring. Her top areas of expertise are Angiodysplasia of the Colon, Watermelon Stomach, Gastrointestinal Bleeding, Colonoscopy, and Endoscopy.

Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 4 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
