Digestive symptoms like gas, bloating and abdominal pain can indicate an underlying illness and should not be ignored.  Take control of your digestive health and call on our team of medical professionals to determine the cause of your symptoms and lay out a treatment plan. 

Dr. Jeffrey Riggs is the only gastroenterologist within 30 miles of Hopkinsville currently treating Crohn’s disease. Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease. It causes swelling of the tissues in your digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition.

Dr. Jeffrey Riggs and Jessica Bridgforth DNP, APRN, specialize in the treatment of Hepatitis at Jennie Stuart Health Gastroenterology, located on Eagle Way Bypass in Hopkinsville. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver.
