Research Interests
In the field of Gastroenterology, my primary research interest is in disorders of gut brain interaction such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I am also interested in the field of health disparities. I was recently able to combine two of these interests by developing a project that will evaluate the educational practices of GI fellowships regarding the topic of health disparities.

Ms.terry have not listened to me about my stomach. She did one test and my primary doctor ordered a MRI and she doesn't care what the MRI said.She shows no concern empathy or care about my stomach issues and is going on what another doctor has said or did she has ordered no blood work and i told her things changes. First visit she used one finger to touch my stomach and last visit I showed her how swollen my stomach was and she did touch it.She is not working to help me.

I experienced a friendly and caring atmosphere from the receptionists to the nurses and Dr’s in pre and post opt. I was told in detail what was happening, what was going to happen and my husband said the Dr’s call after the procedure was detailed and conveyed professionally. Everyone was very attentive and courteous to me as a patient. Thank you.
