A gastroenterologist is a medical specialist with extensive training in diseases of the digestive tract. A gastroenterologist can answer your questions, perform tests, make a diagnosis, and prescribe the best course of treatment.
Riverside Medical Clinic foresaw the need to include a Gastroenterology department in our multi-specialty clinic twenty-eight years ago, when Dr. Anil Garde was hired as Riverside Medical Clinic's first gastroenterologist. We have since expanded our department to include Dr.Sharmila Patel and Dr. Philip Chen. Our gastroenterology doctors may be seen at our new facility in Riverside at 7117 Brockton Avenue.
For juvenile patients requiring a gastroenterologist, Dr. Ravi Berry specializes in Pediatric Gastroenterology along with general pediatrics. Dr. Berry is located in the main clinic. Patients with a history of digestive disorders can speak to their primary care physician about being referred to one of our gastroenterologists. Patients may not realize that their illness may be caused by a digestive disorder. Our gastroenterologists are especially trained to diagnose all types of digestive disorders and also have up-to-date information with the latest treatments available to patients.
There are many other disorders treated by our gastroenterologist. Our Gastroenterology department has many pamphlets available for patients related to their condition.
