Summary

We are seeking a board-certified or board-eligible Medical Gastroenterologist to join our dynamic and patient-focused team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for diagnosing and treating disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and liver, performing endoscopic procedures, and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality care.

Job description

• Conduct consultations and follow-up visits for patients with GI-related symptoms.
• Diagnose and manage conditions such as GERD, IBD, IBS, liver disease, and GI cancers.
• Perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures including colonoscopies, endoscopies, and biopsies.
• Interpret diagnostic tests and imaging related to GI health.
• Prescribe medications and recommend lifestyle or dietary changes.
• Maintain accurate and timely medical records in compliance with HIPAA.
• Educate patients and families on treatment plans and preventive care.
• Collaborate with referring physicians, nurses, and support staff to ensure coordinated care.

In addition, our practice is a hybrid practice. In other words, we have the autonomy of a private practice, physician owned Clinic, but also we have an academic appointment at the University of Texas, San Antonio, and are active in teaching, lecturing, and for those interested, we have one of the largest clinical G.I. research laboratories in the country. Some of our physicians are 90+ percent clinical and others divide their time between clinic and academic pursuits. It is really up to the individuals choice. Additionally hospital duties are optional. So if a physician wants an entire outpatient experience and does not want to attend hospital awards, they can do so.
