Surinder Saini, MD
Gastroenterology and Hepatology

As a Gastroenterologist, I strive to heal my patients back to their optimal GI health. I use both clinical acumen and state of the art technology to diagnose and treat GI disorders.

My initial post-graduate medical training was in England, followed by Gastroenterology Fellowship at world-renowned Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York/Beth Israel Medical Center; where world-class Professors like Dr Hiromi Shinya and Dr Jerome Siegel pioneered GI procedures like Colonoscopy and ERCP (endoscopic study of bile duct and pancreatic duct) I was fortunate enough to be trained directly under their supervision.

Expect to get full attention during your office visit. You get clear explanation of your symptoms, what disease process it may imply; and what diagnostic procedures you may need. I encourage disease prevention with most up-to-date screening tests.

I believe in engaging patients as partners to achieve best results.

Our office uses state-of-the-art technology for electronic health records, so your health information is available to Dr Saini 24/7 at the touch of a button.
