Company Profile
Minnesota Gastroenterology, P.A.
Company Overview
Minnesota Gastroenterology, P.A. (MNGI) is a Twin Cities-based physician practice specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of adult and pediatric digestive system disorders. Our gastroenterologists have expertise in virtually all aspects of adult and pediatric disorders of the digestive system.
All of our doctors are board-certified or eligible gastroenterologists, who have completed two to three years of GI training in addition to an internal medicine or pediatric residency. Gastroenterologists also receive specialized training in endoscopy, a diagnostic procedure which uses a flexible, lighted tube with a built-in video camera to examine the inside of the digestive/intestinal tract
Company History
Minnesota Gastroenterology, P.A. (MNGI) was created by a formal partnership of three independent Twin Cities GI practices: Digestive Healthcare, Gastroenterology Consultants and St. Paul Gastroenterology.
Digestive Healthcare had its beginnings in 1973, when Drs. Arnold Kaplan, Cecil Chally and Joseph Tombers came together to specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with GI disorders. Similarly, Drs. Paul Dickinson and Al Belsito created St. Paul Gastroenterology in 1973. And, in 1975, Drs. Arnold Brier and Thomas Bagnoli founded Gastroenterology Consultants.
Choosing to specialize in gastroenterology care was an innovative concept in the mid-1970s. Not only were the three physician groups forerunners of today's modern GI practice, but each proved to be very successful: over the ensuing 20+ years, the groups added multiple partners and locations before deciding to consolidate into one comprehensive, collaborative practice in 1996.
Today, Minnesota Gastroenterology is one of the largest and most respected independent specialty practices in the United States. More than 75 gastroenterologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners provide a full range of cognitive, diagnostic and therapeutic GI services to patients from throughout the Upper Midwest.
