Our Practice

Our practice currently has five physicians. All physicians are board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in the specialty field of gastroenterology. Our physicians have acquired additional training and expertise in the fields of Liver Disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Celiac Disease, Pill Camera Endoscopy, and Gastroesophageal Reflux disease.

Our clinicians provide care both in the outpatient and hospital setting. Our office is located in West Akron. Emergent and consultative care is provided at Akron City Hospital/Summa Health. The practice also provides indigent care to patients at the hospitals and through referrals from organizations such as Open M (Summit County Free Clinic). The practice hosts patient education classes on premises and has given guidance to local disease-based support groups.

In addition to patient care and education, the physicians participate in the education of medical students from NEOMED (Northeast Ohio Medical University) and residents at Summa Health. Our physicians have presented talks at numerous local physician education seminars. They also continue to assume leadership positions in local and national organizations involving our specialty.
