The Center for Digestive and Liver Health (CDLH) was founded in 1994 by Drs. Mark E. Murphy and Edward Rydzak. Today, with eight Board-certified gastroenterologists and five mid-level providers, the CDLH is the largest gastroenterology practice in the state of Georgia outside of Atlanta. The group focuses on providing state-of-the-art care for patients with digestive and liver disease, as well as identifying colon cancer. Previously, CDLH introduced new technologies such as endoscopic ultrasonography, Barrx ablation therapy and wireless capsule pH monitoring to coastal Georgia, among others. This year, the group performed the first successful endoscopic mucosal resection of an esophageal cancer in coastal Georgia—complete removal of a cancer without incisional surgery! Half of the doctors have been selected for Best Doctors in America recognition, an honor bestowed on less than 5% of the doctors in the United States. The Endoscopy Center, the group’s state-of-the-art four-room procedure suite, opened in 2003. It is fully accredited by AAAHC. It also recently received special recognition from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy for the quality of its care. Only three other centers have received similar commendation in the entire state of Georgia.

I believe my practice is important to the Savannah medical community because we have redefined outpatient imaging in the community. When patients visit us, they can expect the best in accessibility, service and quality.
We use the latest MRI, CT, ultrasound and nuclear medicine with advanced software
applications and protocols. Why I love this job is that I get to exceed the expectations of my patients and their families. As a child, I was very active, and repeatedly found myself in the emergency room, thus stimulating my interest in medicine. My philosophy about patient care is to treat each patient as you would expect to be treated yourself. One thing that most people don’t realize about health and medicine is that the patient controls his own health care. The patient dictates when, where and who should treat him. A doctor’s most important role is to truly care about his patients.
