Dr. Stephen Wangen, co-founder and Medical Director of the IBS Treatment Center, and his team have been successfully helping people resolve irritable bowel syndrome and chronic digestive problems since 1999. This success culminated in the 2005 opening of the IBS Treatment Center, the first clinic in the nation to focus solely on addressing this debilitating condition. Over the years the IBS Treatment Center has cared for a wide variety of patients. Some patients have had IBS symptoms so severe that they spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital. Others are no less frustrated with the impact that it is having on their lives. The thread that tied them all together was that they had never seen an IBS expert, a doctor whose only mission is to help people solve IBS. The IBS Treatment Center is proud to have cured thousands of IBS patients.
Although the clinics are located in Seattle, Washington and Los Angeles, California, patients come to us from around the country and the world, and most now use our telemedicine service and avoid the travel. Patients have come from every state in the US and from over 30 countries!
Dr. Stephen Wangen is the co-founder and Medical Director of the IBS Treatment Center. He is a licensed and board certified physician with a doctoral degree in naturopathic medicine and a bachelor’s degree in biology, with honors. He is the award winning author of two books on solving digestive disorders, and a nationally recognized speaker. He has been seen and heard on ABC, NBC, and Fox as well as public radio and television. He has also been named one of Seattle’s Top Doctors by Seattle Magazine.
His passion for being a doctor and solving digestive problems comes from a lifelong obsession with optimizing health. Having suffered from IBS as a young man, Dr. Wangen dedicated his life to solving this complex problem. He now hand picks and oversees other fine doctors at the IBS Treatment Center for the new specialty of IBS medicine. Since 2005 the IBS Treatment Center, with locations in both Seattle and Los Angeles, has successfully helped thousands of patients from around the country and the world end their digestive problems.
