“A lifelong fascination with human physiology is what inspired me to enter the field of medicine. Over the course of my studies, I found myself drawn to gastroenterology and hepatology due to the rapid advances in technology and the hands-on nature of disease prevention and cure in this field.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you and helping to serve this community with the best medical care we have to offer.”  Phillip J. Goldstein

“From early on, I have been exposed to a life in medicine. The human intrigue and constant evolution of medicine led me to choose this career path. After seeing the joy my father had practicing Gastroenterology and Hepatology, I was drawn to it. Throughout my education and training, the hands-on aspect, the ability to improve my patient’s quality of life, and combination of preventative care along with the rapidly advancing technology for diseases treatment solidified my passion for the field. I look forward to bringing my knowledge and experience back to my hometown to give back to the community that I grew up in.”

“I always knew I wanted to be a part of patient care and started as a bedside nurse for 11 years. In an effort to grow professionally, I obtained my Master’s Degree in Nursing as a Nurse Practitioner to become a more integral part of patient care. I worked as an inpatient provider then moved to outpatient in order to be a part of assisting patients in long term disease control and improved quality of life. I come to this practice with experience in Gastroenterology and love that it encompasses such a vast array of diagnosis which makes it challenging but yet rewarding in knowing that I can be a part of helping patients obtain answers and relief of symptoms as a common and attainable goal.”
