About Murali Pathikonda, M.D.
Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?
Understanding the physiology of gastrointestinal tract appeals to me as I believe in enjoying a healthy meal for healthy living. Disorders of upper and lower GI tract, influenced by functions of gall bladder, liver and pancreas offer unique challenges while they might present similarly. Each patient’s needs &responses to treatment are unique and I enjoy investigating these while making them feel better. Prevention of GI cancers has been better than ever and I love to make that possible. I also enjoy treating reflux and ulcer disorders, colon cancer prevention, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colon cancer screening and prevention.
Do you have a specialty of interest within GI?
With a dedicated year of training in gastrointestinal motility, I specialize in functional and motility disorders of the GI tract which include esophagus, stomach, small bowel and colon functionality.

Reviews
Fantastic visit. Dr. Pathikonda genuinely cared about my condition and had excellent bedside manner.
Professional dr . That is thorough
Doctor had good bedside manner!
Dr. Murali Pathikonda, MD literally saved my life. I'm just a regular working guy out here in the world, and the pain I was going through was the worst I ever experienced in my life, by far. I was initially misdiagnosed at the hospital, however, fate found a way of getting me there in front of Dr. Pathikonda. This man was able to communicate such a sense of care and concern so professionally yet personally, and understandably that he changed the way I see the world. He followed up every step, made sure I got directly to specific surgical contacts that I needed and just everything. This guy looked in my eyes and basically said if what was happening to me was happening to himself or his family, THIS is what he must do. There is no better admission or advice. I owe this man my life and I hope he knows he should be praised. Bless you, Dr. Pathikonda.
Dr. Pathikonda is very present, clear, and practical - exactly what a patient needs. I was impressed on first visit.
