Welcome to the Gastroenterology Center of West Georgia. We provide complete evaluation and treatment of diseases of the digestive system. Our goal: excellent, personal, and cost efficient health care.
We serve the region with the quality of care that you would expect in a city many times the size of LaGrange while maintaining the personal environment of a small town practice. We are proud that Dr. Coggins received his gastroenterology training at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic. We are located within 45 miles of Columbus, Newnan, Peachtree City/Fayetteville and Carrollton, Georgia and Auburn, Alabama.
Gastroenterologists treat diseases of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, gall bladder, liver and pancreas, such as:

Dr. Coggins has completed three years of speciality training in gastroenterology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Dr. Coggins opened the practice in LaGrange, Georgia in 1991. Outpatient procedures are performed at the Southern Surgery Center, an ambulatory surgery facility, and at West Georgia Medical Center, both in LaGrange, Georgia.
