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.
