Gastroenterologist
About Sri Naveen Surapaneni, M.D.
Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?
I find the field of gastroenterology very diverse with challenging yet fascinating disorders that patients present us with. During medical school training, I found this field encompassed diseases of multiple organs, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine, and colon to name a few. I realized by specializing in this field, I could help the most number of patients. The fact that I could not only treat patients with medication, but also procedures (such as the endoscopy) to fix problems was also enticing to me.
Do you have a specialty of interest within GI?
I truly like all aspects of GI. I love performing colonoscopies since this is the one preventative test that has been shown to save lives. I spent two years of research training in upper gastrointestinal motility disorders, and I developed an interest in swallowing and acid reflux disorders. I had an additional year of focused, subspecialty training in interventional/therapeutic endoscopy which deals with the management of complex intestinal, colonic, pancreatic of biliary diseases — both cancerous and non-cancerous.

Amazing experience! Dr. Surapaneni is so thorough, and more importantly kind and empathetic. We drove over an hour to see him and it was well worth it!
Such a great dr love the security i have coming here!
Dr. Surapaneni was great. Very receptive and attentive to my needs.
My visit went well, but I was unclear that he wanted to go forward w the MRI. The order was supposedly sent to Herman 4/1/25, but I didn't know to follow up on it, so until the Dr office called no one knew I hadn't scheduled it. The order never reached the schedulers.
I finally got this scheduled this morning 4/10.

Very pleased with the service I received. Doctor and his assistant took time to explain certain details of my visit and I didn’t feel I was being rushed out for them to see the next appointment.
The office is run very efficiently. I’ve never waited beyond 10 minutes once I was in the exam room.
Very good nice staff and so pleasant
Awesome doctor for your liver issues. Very knowledgeable and has great bedside manner. Dr. Nash in is office is fantastic. I love them both!
My visit with Dr. Surapaneni's office was excellent! His office staff were so friendly and helpful. Most importantly they were really nice to me. It's gotten rare to find medical assistants or receptionist showing polite customer service skills and manners. Not here! The receptionist, the nurses and the billing person were all very personable making me feel welcome and that they were there to help me.
The waiting room was packed when I got there in the late afternoon. However, they got me in after a wait and took the best of care.

He's very good doctor. Very knowledgeable
Great experience, organized and friendly team!
Dr Surapaneni was not my original provider in this group. I have had two others. He is great! He asked me one question that the other two doctors had not asked me. And he made me feel comfortable with how I was handling my issue thus far. He listens, he’s patient and I would highly recommend him! I’m happy to have him as my provider!
Dr. Surapaneni is an excellent physician. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything in detail without rushing.
Dr Surapaneni is wonderful at what he does. He took care of my difficulty swallowing. His staff is wonderful as well. They truly care about their patients
My experience was such a positive one! Everyone is very kind, considerate, and professional! They are very accommodating and are very efficient in setting up appointments that work for you. Dr Surapaneni is such an excellent doctor who works with you in starting treatment and yet shows compassion at the same time! I wouldn’t go anywhere else for testing!
The staff that works with Dr. Surapaneni was wonderful and very kind. Surgery was very quick and painless. Thank you all so very much. Follow up instructions were very clear.
Dr Surapaneni & his staff were very professional and easy to talk to. I didn’t have a long wait time and had plenty of time with the doctor to get my concerns addressed.
Everything from initial appointment to the procedure was excellent. I would highly recommend him.
