OUR MISSION

Gastroenterology and Hepatology Associates is located in Hendersonville, TN, and was founded in June of 2005 by Dr. Randy Howard. With Dr. Howard’s team approach to patient care, as well as the support of the provider community, the practice quickly grew, which resulted in the addition of Dr. Scott Hande in March of 2008.
 
Over the years, the practice has been blessed with continued success. In 2009, the practice moved from its original location on the campus of Hendersonville Medical Center to its current location on Glen Oaks Blvd. In 2013, Misti Martinez, Nurse Practitioner, was welcomed to the staff, as well as Dr. Kristin Gaffney in 2015.
 
Since the inception of the practice, the focus has always been to provide services to patients throughout the Sumner County area. Dr. Howard, Dr. Hande and Dr. Gaffney continue to offer services at several Sumner County facilities and surgery centers. We also provide hospital coverage to Hendersonville Medical Center and Skyline Medical Center.
 
Our mission at Gastroenterology and Hepatology Associates is to provide our patients with excellent healthcare. All of our providers and staff welcome you and look forward to assisting you in any way possible.
