Arizona Digestive Health is pleased to announce the addition of two
respected physicians, Dr. Prabhakar Swaroop and Dr. Sirish Rao, to
its Scottsdale location at 5111 N Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, AZ.
ADH is a proud partner of GI Alliance, the leading physician-owned
and -led network of gastroenterology practices in the U.S.The
expansion comes in response to the retirement of three esteemed
physicians at the facility. Dr. Swaroop and Dr. Rao bring a wealth
of experience and expertise in gastroenterology, having previously
served with distinction at Honor Health, a prominent hospital
system in Phoenix."We are excited to welcome Dr. Swaroop and Dr.
Rao to our team at Arizona Digestive Health," says Dr. Parag
Chokshi, president of Arizona Digestive Health. "Their arrival
marks a significant step forward in our commitment to providing
exceptional care to our patients in the Scottsdale area."Dr.
Swaroop treats general GI issues with a very strong interest in
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)."In this day and age of
innovation, especially in the field of Advanced IBD, getting to an
appropriate treatment - be it biologic, small molecule or even
traditional medicines - is key…,” says Dr. Swaroop. “And it should
be a joint decision arrived at early in the course by everyone that
we will achieve the goal of getting back to normality.”Dr. Rao's
specialties include general gastroenterology with a special
interest in liver disease.
"At ADH we treat the whole patient, not just the disease; our
team has what we’ve all dreamed about - experienced physicians
dedicated to achieving that primary goal of making our patients
feel comfortable to feel a whole lot better,” says Dr. Rao. “We
want our patients to feel empowered.”
Arizona Digestive Health in Scottsdale offers comprehensive
gastroenterology services, including timely office and endoscopy
appointments. Patients can expect expedited scheduling, with same
or next-day appointments available with a single call or text.
Updated PatientPoint screens adorn the waiting room and exam rooms,
designed to share important health information with patients about
their procedures, with interactive visual aides.
With the recent breakthrough announcement that Vedolizumab has
been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for
patients suffering from Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, ADH
physicians are empowered to offer the new subcutaneous medication
to patients who have been properly diagnosed with CD or UC – the
two most common forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
Both Dr. Swaroop and Dr. Rao are affiliated with ICP and are
available on Tigertext for enhanced communication and collaboration
with referring physicians.Additionally, Kresta Schaefer, PA-C,
brings her expertise to the practice, ensuring continuity of care
and personalized treatment options for patients. With a background
in various medical fields, including gastroenterology, cardiology,
and transplant medicine, Kresta prioritizes open communication and
patient education."I am dedicated to providing the same high level
of care as my physician colleagues," says Schaefer. "My goal is to
build trust with my patients and ensure they understand their
treatment plans and options."Dr. Swaroop, Dr. Rao, and Schaffer are
committed to upholding Arizona Digestive Health's reputation for
