pioneers in interventional

and treat awide varietyof complex
gastrointestinal disorders.
In 2008, Dr. IrvingWaxmanused this
procedure tomonitor his patient, Ron
Schwarz. He identifiedpancreatic and
esophageal tumorswhile theywere
readily treatable. These cancers are
often fatal, if not caught early. After
receiving treatment, Ron is enjoying
a healthy retirement.
