About Thomas R Birris
About the Provider
As an inpatient gastroenterologist, I provide personalized care for patients admitted to the hospital with a gastrointestinal, liver, or pancreas conditions. I will make sure you receive the timely treatment you need, in collaboration with your medical or surgical team.
I always try to recommend what is best for my patients based on the best available evidence. People often ask me whether or not they need a specific procedure. I am happy to have an open, honest conversation about potential benefits and potential risks to help you make an informed decision about your care.
It is very fulfilling to speak with patients and their families during a potentially stressful time; I am here help you understand your options, and guide you toward a medical decision that is based on the latest science and consistent with your goals.
