- Colorectal cancer screening and prevention
- Dyspepsia (indigestion)

- Gastroparesis (a condition where the stomach muscles do not contract properly and move food to the small intestines to be digested)

Dr. Fond takes the time to make sure that every one of his patients understands their condition and options for treatment and answers any questions they have. This helps patients be active partners in their care.
