I am a gastroenterologist at St. Luke’s University Health Network. I received my medical degree from Jimma University School of Medicine in Ethiopia. I completed my medical residency at Lenox Hill Hospital and fellowship training in Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Mount Sinai Hospital Elmhurst program.
I am board certified in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology. I am an active member of the American College of Gastroenterology and American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. I have published and presented my research findings at national academic gastroenterology conferences. Additionally, I serve as Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at St. Luke’s/Temple University School of Medicine. I love teaching medical students and residents.
My clinical interests include Colon Cancer Screening, Liver Disorders including Cirrhosis and Hepatitis C, Fecal Microbiota Transplant, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Treatment of Barrett’s Esophagus, Celiac Disease, Nutrition, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
I became a gastroenterologist because I enjoy the diverse and exciting nature of gastroenterology which involves caring for acutely sick, chronically unwell patients and carrying out technical procedures that are sometimes very demanding. In my spare time, I enjoy travel, outdoor activities, and spending time with my family and friends.
