The Pancreaticobiliary Program focuses on disease of the pancreas, gallbladder and biliary system and utilizes a team of internationally recognized gastroenterologists, interventional endoscopists, radiologists, surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, and pathologists. The lead therapeutic endoscopist who will be using the Omega e-View is Dr. Kumar Krishnan, who is an assistant professor in the division of gastroenterology at the Underwood Center.
