Hi, my name is Dr. Amir Abadir, and I’m a gastroenterologist here at the Center for Digestive Health. Well, I chose gastroenterology, really late in college when I took a year to do some research in that field. We ended up doing some work on pancreatic hormones and published a paper. And you know, that was sort of what started my interest in gastroenterology, and I got more interested in it in medical school as I learned more about it.
Best advice for patients is, like we always say prevention is the best medicine. Try not to ignore symptoms even if they seem mild, or not that bothersome. It never hurts to come see your doctor. Talk about it. See if anything needs to be done. At best, we’ll put your mind at ease. At worst, we’ll figure out what’s going on and get you to feel better.
Many times patients can feel apprehensive about coming in to see the doctor. They’re worried about what tests they’re going to do, what complications they may have.
