About Benjamin Root, MD
Benjamin Root, MD, is board-certified in internal medicine and sees patients at Specialists in Gastroenterology in St. Louis, Missouri.
Dr. Root was born and raised in St. Louis and attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor for his undergraduate studies. He obtained his medical degree from Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before completing his internal medicine residency at New York University and his gastroenterology fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
Dr. Root cares for adults with a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders, with a particular emphasis on screening and surveillance of colorectal cancer, GERD/Barrett’s esophagus, functional GI disorders (including irritable bowel syndrome and function dyspepsia), and inflammatory bowel disease (including ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and a variety of liver diseases).

After 15 years away, Dr. Root returned home to his beloved St. Louis, Missouri, to grow his GI practice.

Reviews
I have nothing but good things to say about Dr Root and my colonoscopy, the staff was very considerate and professional and I would highly recommend you to anyone in need of this procedure
Been coming here for awhile now. First time with Dr Root. Since my Doctor retired. Great place
Best experience for a colonoscopy I've ever had.
Dr. Root listens to you and helps you feel comfortable with your plan of care. Staff is also very caring.
This was a television and we had trouble with getting face-to-face over the phones. But Dr root was very kind and asked me the correct questions and we rescheduled again for the next follow-up and June.
