Steven Gorcey MD

 Doctor Steven A. Gorcey founded  Monmouth Gastroenterology in 1991  and has been practicing in Monmouth County for 30 years. In 2019 he  left the practice to form Monmouth Digestive Health located in Eatontown, N.J.. 

After earning his medical degree from Sackler  School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, Dr. Gorcey did his internal  medicine residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and completed  his fellowship in gastroenterology at Winthrop University Hospital in  1991. During fellowship, Dr. Gorcey was an assistant clinical instructor  at Stony Brook Medical School.

He served  as chief of the division  of Gastroenterology at Monmouth Medical Center, and chief  of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy for many years. In addition, he was assistant clinical  professor at Drexel University Medical school and Robert Wood Johnson, with teaching  responsibilities for both medical students and medical/surgical residents. He also served as chief of advanced endoscopy at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem for one month in 2014.

While  routine colon cancer screening and  upper endoscopy comprise the majority of Dr. Gorcey’s procedures, he  also had special interests in some of the most advanced interventional endoscopic  procedures performed in the world today. Along with having being an expert in  biliary endoscopy (ERCP - Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography),  which is a way of dealing with bile duct disorders through the mouth,  Dr. Gorcey wasone of a few select physicians  who performed endoscopic gastric sleeves for obesity, and revision of  gastric bypass and gastric sleeves using the Apollo Overstitch endoscopic suturing system. Being an expert in esophageal disease,  Dr. Gorcey was the first doctor in the state of  New Jersey to perform BARRX radio frequency ablation for Barrett's esophagus, a  non-invasive way of removing pre-cancerous tissue from the esophagus. He was also the first in NJ to perform POEM - per oral endoscopic myotomy for Achalasia.  His ability to manage swallowing disorders, using advances esophageal functional analysis, and his experience in Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease, Eosinophilic esophagitis, esophageal cancer and motility disorders, is second to none. A  close relationship with the advanced laparoscopic surgeons at  Monmouth Medical Center allows him to endoscopically remove large pre-cancerous tumors of the colon, stomach and duodenum that most others would refer for surgical resection, and attack complex surgical problems like fistula closure and leak repair with novel  combinations of operative endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches. Dr Gorcey performs his more complex procedures at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch NJ and the majority of his routine  outpatient endoscopies and colonoscopies at Advanced Endoscopy in Eatontown NJ, a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgical center. His philosophy is treating patients in a down to earth manner with courtesy,  friendliness, and respect, utilizing the most advanced treatment options, techniques and equipment,  with a pursuit for painless endoscopy, easy SAME DAY colonoscopy  preparation, and the  lowest complication rates achievable. He truly cares about his patients, which is the main reason why he opened a solo practice. Dr. Gorcey and his responsive staff give the patients the time, and personal care they deserve. Once patients experience "concierge" gastroenterology, they will never go back to a group practice.  At Monmouth Digestive Health, You're a VIP without the fee.
