Experience the NYGA Advantage
Whether your symptoms are related to hormones, pregnancy, or menopause, or you're just looking for a physician who understands women's GI health, we're here to help.
Women experience digestive issues at higher rates than men and often with different symptoms and triggers. At NYGA, we offer a specialized team of female gastroenterologists who focus on diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal conditions in women of all ages.
Our Women-Centered Approach to GI Health
Hormonal shifts, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause can all impact digestion, gut function, and abdominal discomfort. These factors can make GI issues in women harder to pinpoint and more important to treat with care.
We consider how your symptoms may relate to gynecologic health, pelvic floor disorders, stress, or diet. When needed, we collaborate with other specialists to ensure coordinated care that meets your needs.

Don't just take our word for it. See what our patients have to say about their experiences at NYGA. We are proud of the positive feedback we receive and strive to exceed your expectations every day.
“If I could give this dr zero stars, I would. I wouldn’t wish my worst enemy to see him. He is demeaning, impatient and made my condition significantly worse than better. Not sure what everyone’s positive reviews are about. I’d stay away.”
“Dr. Erber is an amazing diagnostician. Being diagnosed correctly and receiving the right treatment quickly is the most important thing to me, and Dr. Erber delivered exactly that. I’m very pleased I chose him. Thank you!”
“A magnificent doctor, wonderful personality, and easy to understand”
“Dr Kornbluth is the most caring compassionate and brilliant doctor I have ever encountered. I am a 66 year old female with UC which was diagnosed when I was 7. I had been managed by a number of gastro doctors over the years and my condition continued to worsen and required me to take Prednisone more often than not. He got me on a much healthier path and off Prednisone. I continue to feel great and I attribute it to his knowledge of UC and sincere interest in his patients well being. He is positive, upbeat, and very responsive. I can’t say enough about what a wonderful doctor he is. I wish there were more like him.”
