• Medical Weight Loss
  Colonoscopy is helpful in determining the cause of abdominal pain, bleeding, weight loss, or changes in bowel habits. It can also be used to obtain a biopsy of abnormal tissue, treat bleeding, and remove polyps.
• Primary Care
  AG physicians provide ongoing updates to any and all primary care and/or referring provider as documented in your medical records.
• Emergency Care
  In the event of a life-threatening medical emergency, call emergency medical services at 911 immediately. DO NOT WAIT! Inform the emergency room staff that you are a patient of Austin Gastroenterology and they will contact us.
• Colonoscopy
  At AG, we understand that the idea of having a colonoscopy can seem overwhelming. We do our best to make the process as easy as possible. You will generally only need to be off of work for the day of the procedure. Plus, the new formulations of bowel prep are much more tolerable than they used to be.
• Constipation
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  In our service to the Central Texas area since 1980, Austin Gastro has contributed to major advances in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. In the last ten years we have participated in trials that helped to create the modern standard of care for hepatitis C, and have tested new treatments for Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, GERD, and irritable bowel syndrome. We've also participated in trials of popular drugs such as Humira®, Remicade®, Nexium®, and Cimzia®. All in all, our physicians have participated in over 70 clinical trials.

• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  "Dr. Carl Frank has been my doctor for over 12 years.. He listens and his pleasant manner easily puts you at ease. He always knows when my reflux problem needs a check. I was having some unusual discomfort in the area of my intestines. He ordered a CT scan to be sure of what was going on. The results were that there was a possible malignancy in my uterus and water on my kidney. There was no evidence that the problem was from my colon. I am so thankful to him for being thorough and for saving my life. Needless to say, I am fortunate to have found a doctor like Dr. Carl Frank who is always there for his patients." -MW
