Certified internist, gastroenterologist, specialist in Gastrointestinal endoscopy

DR. ZANE STRAUME

In this time of change, when a new order is emerging in the world, our way of life
must also change. Doctors must also be able to adapt, which is why some time ago an
idea was born to communicate and help patients in a different way —also remotely,
creating a comfortable way for everyone to reach their doctor from home, work, or
anywhere else.

My concept is to view each patient as a whole, taking into account both hereditary and
acquired diseases and lifestyle habits. Often, a symptom or illness can help answer an
unclear question and make it easier to find a problem related to the digestive system.
I am here for the health and well-being of your digestive system.

Specialisations: diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the oesophagus,
stomach, pancreas, liver, bile ducts, small intestine, colon and rectum. Healthy
lifestyle and importance of screening methods.
