Feeling a little apprehensive, I was very satisfied with the staff and Dr Lucido. I feel they were caring professionals that had a lot of experience and knowledge that helped me grasp what might be going on with my system. Thank you for putting my worries to rest.

Front desk staff very personable. Only waited about 5 minutes to be called back, then less than that when Dr. Totta came in. He asked multiple questions to get an accurate picture of my symptoms, and discussed the tests ordered with me. He was so thorough and was not in a hurry to get in and out. Wonderful experience!

I have had stomach problems for more than 20 years. I have seen many gastrointestinal doctors around this area. I finally found the right doctor for me. Dr. Schell. He is different from any other doctor. He listened carefully to me, and discussed with me regarding my problems. He took time, and was not rushed. He fully explained about medications I need to take, including the times I need to take each one. He was very kind. I was impressed. Thank you so much Dr. SCHNELL.

About Us

A colonoscopy can save your life. Though it may be hard to believe that a routine 15 – 30 minute procedure could save your life, it's the truth. A colonoscopy can prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases of the large intestine, including colon cancer. Preventive care, like a routine colonoscopy, is just as important as caring for and treating diseases found in your large intestine. Proudly serving the Kansas City, MO community, our GI providers can use a colonoscopy to finally diagnose the cause of your worrisome symptoms or to screen for a serious condition like colon cancer. Don’t wait until it's too late. Take control of your GI health with preventive screenings at Digestive Health Specialists.

Though it cannot be cured, inflammatory bowel disease can be managed with the help of a GI provider. Digestive Health Specialists offers compassionate and innovative care for IBD so you can live each day to the fullest.
