Capital Digestive Care is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Zain Raza to our Suffolk – Harbour View and Suffolk – Madison offices.
In college Dr. Raza was initially drawn to research, spending summers working with a physician scientist in the lab. However, the days he enjoyed the most were the researcher’s clinic days, where he brought cutting-edge science to patients whose doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Dr. Raza felt a calling to do the same.
Today, Dr. Raza is a board-certified, fellowship-trained gastroenterologist with particular interest in the following conditions and procedures:
- General gastroenterology (GI) care
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Liver and pancreas diseases
- Motility disorders
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
- Colonoscopy
- Gastrostomy placement
Dr. Raza earned his undergraduate degree from Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia and attended medical school at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. He completed residency training at Barnes Jewish Hospital, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and pursued further specialization with a fellowship in gastroenterology at Saint Louis University Hospital.
“Often, the most successful treatment I can offer patients is to empower them with knowledge, including what might be going on with their body and the pros and cons of different treatments,” Dr. Raza said. “I aspire to give patients the time needed to answer their questions to their satisfaction, form an initial plan, and develop an action plan if our first treatment or diagnostic testing doesn’t give us the results we expect.”
Before joining Capital Digestive Care, Dr. Raza was a gastroenterology fellow at Saint Louis University Hospital in Missouri. During his medical training, he won several awards for excellence in teaching other medical trainees.
