Gastroenterologists recommended by patients with Crohn's and colitis

Disclaimer: the following list of gastroenterologists was provided by patients and is not an endorsement of any particular physician. This page is for informational purposes only and not intended to provide any medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Changing doctors is stressful, particularly if you've developed a relationship and trust with a particular gastroenterologist. Unfortunately, change is inevitable as people move, or change insurance companies, or doctors change jobs or retire.

To make it easier for people with Crohn's or colitis to find new gastroenterologists in their area, we asked patients which GI's they'd recommend across the country (and even the world).
