Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Our multidisciplinary team of experts at NYU Langone’s Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center—Long Island provides highly specialized and advanced care in the diagnosis, treatment, and support of people with inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, a condition in which there is chronic or recurring inflammation in the digestive tract.

The two most common types of IBD are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These two distinct conditions share many of the same symptoms, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and fatigue, but they affect different areas of the gastrointestinal tract and often require different treatment.

At NYU Langone, our experts take a collaborative approach to your care. They create a personalized treatment plan that addresses all of your needs. Our team includes gastroenterologists, surgeons, nutritionists, radiologists, nurses, and other specialists. Based on the results of diagnostic tests, they personalize your treatment to relieve symptoms and achieve and maintain remission of the disease.

Our physicians understand that IBD can affect your quality of life and no two people experience symptoms in the same way. Our experts partner with you to optimize your treatment and help you manage symptoms long-term.

In addition, NYU Langone gastroenterologists care for children who have IBD through our Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program, part of Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone.
