About Isaac Raijman, M.D.

Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?

I was most attracted to Gastroenterology for two main reasons: one to take care of healthy and sick patients and two the combination of endoscopy to allow a very different perspective in the approach to both health and disease. I was also attracted by the large variety the gastrointestinal tract offers. That is, the multitude of organs that can be studied. Gastroenterology also offers the opportunity of immediate healing, chronic management of disease or health maintenance and the possibility of helping through nutrition and not only pharmacology.

Do you have a specialty of interest within GI?

My approach is patient-centered, with application of best-practice medicine integrated with knowledge and skills acquired over many years of clinical practice.  I offer less invasive treatments through the most advanced endoscopic and medical interventions.  My goal is to provide compassionate care, comprehensive diagnosis and management within an atmosphere of comfort and trust for my patients.
I specialize in: Upper Endoscopy & Colonoscopy, Endoscopic removal of large and complicated polyps, ERCP: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, Cholangioscopy (Spyglass), Pancreatoscopy (Spyglass), Endoscopic management of complex gastrointestinal disorders, Endoscopic management of complex pancreatobiliary disorders, EUS: Endoscopic Ultrasound, Endoscopic management of Obesity, Endoscopic management of bariatric complications, Endoscopic management of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Endoscopic management of cancer complications, Endoscopic management of Barrett’s esophagus, and Endoscopic management of Zenker’s diverticulum.

An extremely welcoming office atmosphere with amazing paintings of Dr. Raijman on the walls. The staff is friendly and efficient, the required procedure was scheduled on the spot after the consultation with the doctor. On top of that a lot of educational information on GI topics was provided on the screen in the main lobby and inside the exam room which makes waiting time fly by (and in fact everything was done in timely manner although I wouldn't mind to dig screen topics for a little longer:}!
