About Huron Gastro

Huron Gastro, P.C. is an adult medical gastroenterology practice specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders that affect the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. Currently, our practice includes 24 physicians who are board-certified in gastroenterology by the American Board of Internal Medicine, 8 advanced practice providers along with many other clinical and administrative personnel. The history of Huron Gastro is deeply tied to the history of gastroenterology. William A. Gracie, the practice’s founding partner, was one of the first physicians in the United States to test and use fiber-optic instruments in the diagnosis and treatment of colonic disease (colonoscopy). Dr. Gracie also studied the natural history of gallstones. The principles he set forth in the 1970s for managing asymptomatic gallstones are still widely accepted. Dr. Gracie was joined by Dr. Daniel Fall in 1972 and then by Dr. Stanley Strasius in 1975. Dr. Strasius was instrumental in refining the techniques of biliary and pancreatic endoscopic evaluation. And together, Drs. Gracie, Fall, and Strasius laid the foundation in the 1970s for what Huron Gastro is now, decades later: a thriving gastroenterology practice that holds sacred a commitment to provide compassionate care and personalized service to every patient that walks through its doors. Simply put, our standard is and always has been to treat patients and their families as we would treat our own families. We provide general endoscopic services at our state-of-the-art facility - the Center for Digestive Care (Ann Arbor) and Huron Gastro Endoscopy Center (Livonia) - as well as our Chelsea, Livingston, and Brighton locations. General and advanced endoscopic services are offered at the Imaging Center within the Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital. We have expertise in every leading-edge technology available for gastrointestinal medicine. This includes using the most updated and advanced endoscopes and colonoscopes. It also means offering a gamut of specialized gastroenterological services and technologies such as capsule endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic mucosal resection (of early-stage esophageal cancer, Barrett’s esophagus with dysplasia, and large intestinal polyps), esophageal manometry, BRAVO pH capsule, and HALO ablation. Finally, each day and night our providers are available at Trinity Health Ann Arbor and Livonia Hospitals for inpatient consultations. We also provide inpatient consultative services on weekdays for Trinity Health Chelsea and Livingston hospitals. Our goal is to determine and execute the optimal gastrointestinal treatment plan for our hospitalized patients and form strong collaborations with members of our patients’ hospital care team. It is our mission to create an environment where patients and referring physicians experience the highest quality of care delivered in an efficient, compassionate, and cost-conscious manner. We strive to create a working environment where our staff feel like they are respected and valued members of our healthcare team.
