What Gastrointestinal Conditions Does the Center for Colon & Digestive Disease Treat?

Updated

The Center for Colon & Digestive Disease (CCDD) in Huntsville, Alabama, treats colon and digestive (gastrointestinal) disorders as a gastroenterology clinic — it provides both diagnosis and treatment, not just general information. The site organizes this under a dedicated "Gastrointestinal Conditions" section, and a separate "Gastrointestinal Procedures" section covers the minimally invasive and surgical procedures used to diagnose and treat those disorders. Because the site's excerpt does not enumerate every condition, the specific list should be checked on the site itself.

What the site states about its scope

CCDD describes itself as "North Alabama's premier, preferred gastroenterology center and your single source for achieving and maintaining optimum gastrointestinal (GI) health." Its physicians are described as gastroenterology specialists, and the clinic positions itself around GI, gastro, and gastrointestinal care.

Two things follow from this:

  • The focus is the colon and the digestive system broadly, not a single condition.
  • It is a treatment clinic. The site pairs "Gastrointestinal Conditions" with "Gastrointestinal Procedures," which indicates the clinic diagnoses and treats what it lists rather than only publishing educational material.

How the site is organized

Section What it covers
Gastrointestinal Conditions The digestive and colon conditions the clinic addresses
Gastrointestinal Procedures Minimally invasive and surgical procedures for diagnosing and treating GI disorders, using imaging technology
FibroScan A quick, noninvasive test measuring liver stiffness and fat buildup; no sedation, typically a few minutes
GI Videos Educational and humorous video resources
GI Resources Procedures and related material

The inclusion of FibroScan is a concrete example of the clinic's scope extending to liver assessment alongside digestive care — it evaluates liver health without sedation in a few minutes.

What to verify before booking

The excerpt does not list individual conditions, so confirm your specific concern before scheduling:

  1. Open the "Gastrointestinal Conditions" section on the site and check whether your condition appears.
  2. If it does not, use the Patient Portal or contact the clinic directly to ask whether it is within their scope.
  3. Note the open hours — Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM — when planning a call or visit.

Practical notes

  • CCDD is based in Huntsville and serves the Madison, Alabama area.
  • The clinic has received recognition as a GI ambulatory surgery center: the Huntsville Endoscopy Center was named Best GI Ambulatory Surgery Center in Alabama for 2025 and 2026, and was included among "The 259 Best GI ASCs in 2025 & 2026," ranked #1 in Alabama.
  • Dr. Peter DeLeeuw is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology, which reflects the clinic's combined internal medicine and GI focus.

If you are trying to decide whether CCDD is the right place for a digestive or colon concern, the site's condition and procedure sections are the fastest way to confirm fit; if your condition is not listed, a direct call is the reliable next step.
