Doctors who Treat NASH
Sometimes finding the right doctor can make all the difference—especially with NASH.
It may be important to find a doctor who specializes in NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis), especially if your current doctor isn’t familiar with the tests to check for NASH and scarring or can’t answer all of your questions.
