Welcome to Los Angeles Gastroenterology Institute

• The Los Angeles Gastroenterology Institute is a medical group specializing in the management of gastrointestinal disorders. Our compassionate physicians utilize the latest training, technology, and state of the art techniques to care for our patients. Our physicians trained at the most prestigious programs in the country and use the latest medical research, knowledge, and innovative therapies to manage a complex array of clinical disorders. Our physicians manage gastrointestinal conditions ranging from acid reflux to colon and pancreatic cancer with excellent clinical outcomes.
• The physicians at the Los Angeles Gastroenterology Institute are committed to providing our patients with the safest, highest-quality, most-satisfying care possible. Many factors come into play when choosing a specialist, but ultimately, none are more important than the satisfaction experienced by the patient and their family as well as the quality of patient care.
• With quality and patient satisfaction in mind, our physicians follow strict quality and safety practices. Throughout our entire center, we monitor our staff’s compliance with these practices and continuously seeking ways to improve. Additionally, our physicians are leaders in establishing and improving health care quality and safety at the centers we use.

 

Our Credentials and Experience Translate into Excellent Clinical Outcomes

• Distinguished and Board Certified: Our physicians are not only board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and the subspecialty of Gastroenterology, but are also Fellows of the American College of Physicians (FACP) and American College of Gastroenterology (FACG).

  Read More: Having an FACP and FACG affiliation places our physicians in an exclusive group of nationally recognized physicians. In the greater Los Angeles area, the physicians at LAGI are among the few physicians that hold both the FACP and FACG affiliation. Collectively, our breadth of knowledge and experience are unparalleled. Being a Fellow is a distinction earned when colleagues recognize exemplary physician accomplishments and achievements that go above and beyond the standard practice of medicine. The most important considerations for Fellowship are excellence in the practice of medicine and contributions made to the field of medicine and to the community.
