Meet Our Liver Care Team
Liver disease often develops silently, making early evaluation and specialized care essential. At Idaho Gastroenterology Associates, our dedicated liver team provides comprehensive care for patients with both acute and chronic liver conditions.
Led by Dr. Elsbeth Jensen-Otsu, the team includes Dan Simon, PA-C, and Noel Anderson, PA-C, who work together to provide timely access, individualized treatment plans, and ongoing support throughout each patient’s care journey.
Our team evaluates and treats a wide range of liver conditions, including:
Elevated liver enzymes
Fatty liver disease (MASLD/MASH)
Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C
Cirrhosis
Alcohol-related liver disease
Autoimmune liver diseases
Medication-induced liver injury
Genetic and metabolic liver disorders
Liver lesions and masses
Long-term liver disease monitoring
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
Our liver program offers FibroScan®, a non-invasive technology that measures liver stiffness and fatty infiltration. The painless exam takes only a few minutes and can often provide valuable information without the need for a liver biopsy. FibroScan helps physicians diagnose liver disease earlier, monitor disease progression, and evaluate response to treatment.
Working Together with Referring Providers
We value our partnerships with primary care providers and other specialists throughout the region. Our goal is to provide timely consultations, clear communication, and coordinated care that supports both patients and referring clinicians.
Whether a patient has newly elevated liver enzymes, suspected fatty liver disease, chronic hepatitis, or advanced liver disease requiring specialized management, our team is here to help.
Si su seguro exige una remisión o una autorización previa, nuestra oficina de facturación hará todo lo posible por obtenerla antes de que se presten los servicios. Si decide continuar sin la autorización requerida, es posible que el seguro deniegue la cobertura. Si es usted un paciente de Medicare, es posible que se le pida que firme un Aviso Previo al Beneficiario (ABN) en el que reconozca su responsabilidad financiera en caso de que el seguro no pague. Si está afiliado a un plan de seguro privado, se le pedirá que firme un formulario de servicios no cubiertos.
