“I had a close family member who suffered from inflammatory bowel disease. That resulted in my interest in the field of gastroenterology. I am fascinated by the advancements in technology that has now progressed to the point where we can directly inspect every previously hidden part of the human digestive system. I enjoy this process of detection utilizing endoscopy. I am also a good listener, open-minded and very flexible in working with patients. I never give up on a patient.”

“I have a strong interest in gastroenterological disorders and an interest in performing endoscopic procedures, which gives me the ability to confirm my diagnostic impressions. I am also very down-to-earth and engaging in my personal relationships with patients. By listening carefully to what my patients tell me, I can better diagnose their problems. My goal is to give them the best care possible in a friendly, professional manner.”

“I became interested in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders during my internship and residency. The field attracted me because of the wide ranges of conditions encountered as well as the opportunity to care for adult patients of all ages. I believe in establishing and maintaining a good doctor-patient relationship as a vehicle toward better diagnosis and treatment. I am caring and empathetic toward my patients and determined to address their concerns and help them solve their problems.”
Andrew B. Rosenberg, MD
“I chose the field of gastroenterology because it is a fascinating and diverse field that provides me the best opportunity to help people. I treat patients with acute and chronic illnesses as well as prevent and diagnose cancer. It allows me to have ongoing relationships with patients and help them navigate their way through difficult times, especially when diagnosed with illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease and gastrointestinal cancers. I like to provide support and guidance while giving clear and direct advice. My patients can voice their concerns so that when they leave my office, they can rest assured that their gastrointestinal issues will be managed thoroughly and efficiently.”
Felice J. Mirsky, MD
“Gastroenterology allows me to combine my interests in long-term and short-term patient care relationships, preventive medicine, performing procedures and conducting clinical research. Treating patients with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the diseases in this field that I find most compelling. Each patient is unique and a challenge. I try to know my patients as individuals, and this allows me the ability to understand their symptoms more clearly. When patients feel reassured that someone is listening to their complaints and taking them seriously, they feel validated and protected. I most enjoy being able to positively contribute to a patient’s health. I love when they feel better based upon care that I have provided.”
E. Michael Sullivan, DO
“I love the diversity this field has to offer. It gives me the opportunity to diagnose and treat patients and perform procedures. The same illness or disease can present itself in such different ways, and I enjoy that every patient is different. I take a compassionate approach to each patient and I’m open-minded to each situation. I listen and re-evaluate each case until I find the answer and solve the patient’s problem.”
Jennifer K. Slane, DO
“Practicing gastroenterology can make a tremendous impact in a patient’s life – which is why I love this field. It allows the best of both worlds- a fusion of traditional medicine which includes listening, examining and counseling my patients – together with that of a more technological approach utilizing endoscopy to better diagnose, prevent and treat gastrointestinal disease. This challenging field is growing and we are learning more each day with new tools to help our patients. I believe educating my patients about their health is paramount. I am a careful listener and detail oriented which helps me to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and tailor the treatment to the individual. I strive to provide the best, most compassionate care possible for my patients.”
Vikram J. Singh, MD
“I enjoy Gastroenterology due to the diverse nature of the field. It is rewarding to be able to care for patients with complex medical conditions as well as to be able to perform both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to aid in their treatment. I enjoy listening to my patients and working with them to improve their health. I strive to understand my patients' symptoms, concerns, and beliefs in order to deliver individualized care at each visit.”
Cassandra Sanossian, MD, RD
“I became interested in gastroenterology as it affords me the opportunity to incorporate my interest and background in nutrition with a variety of medical conditions. Moreover, developing and maintaining a long-term relationship with each patient is rewarding. After learning about their concerns, I enjoy working with the patient to devise a treatment plan using small, measurable steps that can effect positive change on their overall health and well-being."
