History of GI Alliance of Illinois
Since 1978, our gastroenterologists have served patients across Illinois, building a legacy of exceptional patient care, continuous quality improvement, and innovative treatments. In 2010, this commitment led to the formation of Illinois Gastroenterology Group (IGG) through the merger of Elgin Gastroenterology, Lake Shore Gastroenterology, and Northwest Gastroenterologists. Over the following years, additional groups joined, including Midwest Center for Digestive Health in 2011, Gastrointestinal Health Associates of Geneva in 2013, and North Shore Gastroenterology in 2014. This collective vision culminated in the creation of GI Alliance in 2019, which has since grown into the largest independent gastroenterology practice in the U.S., operating in over 14 states. Now known as GI Alliance of Illinois, our group unites premier gastroenterologists nationwide, committed to delivering outstanding care and improving the lives of patients with GI conditions.
