St. Luke's Gastroenterology - Center Valley
I am a full-time, clinical faculty member at St. Luke’s University Health Network. I earned my medical degree from Aga Khan University in Pakistan. I moved to the Lehigh Valley more than 3 years ago and since then have completed fellowship training in gastroenterology at St. Luke’s University Health Network and have decided to continue in my new role as a gastroenterologist at St. Luke’s afterward. I also specialize in liver disease/hepatology through fellowship training at Temple University Hospital, a liver transplant center in Philadelphia, PA and geriatric medicine at Indiana University in Indianapolis, IN. I am passionate about research to improve patient care and have published widely in reputed medical journals and presented research findings at national academic gastroenterology conferences. I love teaching medical students, residents and fellows.
I provide fellowship training and education in hepatology as well as general endoscopic procedures. My research interests include improving GI health care in the elderly populations, diagnosis and management of liver disease and quality improvement projects. I am an active member of the American College of Gastroenterology and American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. My clinical interests include colon cancer screening; liver disease (hepatology), including viral hepatitis and fatty liver; and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in all adult age groups as well as gastrointestinal disorders in the elderly (65 years and above) population.
I became a gastroenterologist because I enjoy the diverse and exciting nature of gastroenterology and hepatology practice, which involves caring for acutely sick, chronically unwell patients and performing endoscopic procedures. In my spare time, I enjoy travel, playing tennis, outdoor activities and spending time with family and friends.

“It was my first visit with Dr. Liaquat and at this facility. Everyone was very professional and courteous. Dr. Liaquat was definitely very professional, but not in the least stiff or distant. He addressed the issues and asked pertinent questions; he explained everything completely and responded to my questions. I was very comfortable with him during this first visit. The office staff was stellar. Thank you.”

“1st time I was in to see this doctor. I was very impressed. He listened, he spoke in terms that I could understand. I got some of his business cards and have already referred him to family and friends.”

“By far this is the best Doctor that I have seen in a long time. I am 61 years of age and I have never had a doctor actually call me on the job while I'm working to actually ask me if I wanted to come in early or for what ever other reason. This doctor puts himself on the front lines with the patients and he don't mind coming out the office to be with the patient at the check out desk And all the receptionist and clerks love him. I witnessed this at check out. They love working with this doctor. And the clerk that checked me out was professional because she was influenced by him. I was going to leave st Luke's for a private doctors office but this doctor made me and my wife's day. This hospital should be blessed they have him and other doctors should follow his directions that he shows that he is not no better then the patient”
