Dr. Tabib

Meet Gastroenterologist & Hepatolgist Siamak Tabib, M.D.

Dr. Siamak Tabib is a prominent gastroenterology and hepatology doctor in Los Angeles. Commonly referred to as a “stomach doctor,” Dr. Tabib incorporates prevention, diagnosis and treatment for all his patients. These two specialty fields of medicine deal primarily with conditions of the digestive tract, which is made up of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Our goal is to maintain health primarily through disease prevention and when necessary, to provide treatment with appropriate leading-edge procedures. We incorporate diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as upper and lower endoscopy (EGD and colonoscopy) in your pathway to wellness.

Heartburn and abdominal pain are common symptoms, which may be early warning signs of more serious conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and peptic ulcers. Today, these conditions can be treated effectively. Colon cancer and esophageal cancer are also on the rise. Fortunately, measures exist for prevention of these malignancies. If diagnosed early, these cancers can be cured with excellent outcomes.

We provide everyone a personalized treatment plan to meet your unique needs and improve your quality of life. Thousands of loyal patients have experienced Dr. Tabib’s attention to detail, his compassion and realized his paramount goal of improving his patient’s quality of life. Contact our Gastroenterology and Hepatology Center in Los Angeles to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Tabib.
