Digestive diseases affect between 60 and 70 million Americans. At my private medical practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, I specialize in gastroenterology and the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of all digestive conditions. Gas, pain, bloating, and irregularity don’t have to impact your quality of life anymore. Call the office to schedule an appointment with me today.

- Nutritional problems

Because I specialize in both internal medicine and gastroenterology, I am able to make important connections between your overall health and your digestive system symptoms. I approach your condition holistically, factoring in your lifestyle, health history, and wellness goals to reduce symptoms and improve your comfort and function.
