DALLAS, TX, May 3, 2022 – GI Alliance, the nation’s largest independent gastroenterology practice, is pleased to announce a partnership with Digestive Health Specialists in Kansas City, Missouri. This is the first practice in Missouri and Kansas to join GI Alliance’s network of physician practices.
