Our Gastroenterologists specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of liver and digestive tract diseases, offering General GI as well as Neurogastroenterology & Motility services. They collaborate with other physicians to address the entire spectrum of complex digestive diseases

Our Hepatology group features highly specialized, patient-centered providers with a large clinical footprint and diverse clinical and academic interests. All division members run a clinical program or have a specialized area of interest in addition to seeing general hepatology and liver transplant patients.

We are active in national societies such as AASLD, American Society of Transplant, American Liver Foundation, PSC Partners, and locally as leaders within SWBMG and the Northern California Society for Clinical Gastroenterology. Our division members engage in translational research, clinical trials, and investigator-initiated research, supported by national and local grants. Their work is published in prestigious journals of Hepatology and Gastroenterology.

The IES physicians at SWBMG offer state-of-the-art endoscopic expertise to manage digestive tract disease and cancer while in pursuit of possible cures. In addition, we work to advance the development of next-generation procedures that will replace surgery. Our doctors have invented and pioneered notable instruments and procedures used in the daily work of interventional endoscopy including the lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) and the underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). In addition, our team has published over 300 papers and presented at more than 500 national and international talks to advance the field. We are proud to participate in multiple outcome-based studies comparing new techniques with standard technologies, abiding by a mission to push interventional endoscopy techniques to become as safe and effective as possible.
