Gastroenterologist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive disorders
JACKSON, TN – West Tennessee Healthcare recently welcomed Veronica Jarido, M.D., gastroenterologist, to West Tennessee and her new medical practice at West Tennessee Gastroenterology. She is accepting new patients at her office at 27 Medical Center Drive, Jackson, TN. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Jarido, call (731) 541-8300.
Dr. Jarido is experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive health conditions. She specializes in therapeutic endoscopy, gastrointestinal wellness and nutrition, and the treatment of autoimmune digestive disorders including celiac disease. Dr. Jarido performs minimally invasive procedures exclusively at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital.
Dr. Jarido earned her medical degree from University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She completed her residency in internal medicine at Duke University. She also completed fellowship training in gastroenterology at The Ohio State University.
“I am committed to helping people with digestive disorders lead more comfortable and healthy lives by providing education on the value of nutrition, and prescribing medications, when necessary,” Dr. Jarido said.
“I also specialize in minimally invasive procedures that use endoscopes equipped with tiny video cameras to visualize the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. Depending on the findings, what may start as a diagnostic procedure can progress to a therapeutic procedure, such as in cases of upper GI bleeding or the discovery of polyps during colonoscopy,” she said.
