Gastro in Florida Scholarship

Gastroenterology is one of the many branches of medicine that focuses on the body’s digestive system, as well as the disorders that affect it. Some of the specific areas of the body that a gastroenterologist specializes in are the stomach, esophagus, pancreas, and gall bladder.

By the time a person experiences an illness or condition that affects the digestive system including inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, colitis, and ulcers, there is a need to seek medical expertise from a gastroenterologist or GI doctor. For those who are in Florida, among the top GI doctors is Dr. Vikram Tarugu.

Dr. Tarugu can plan the appropriate treatment that is needed for management or recovery of a disease of the digestive tract. He is also courteous and professional, making him a respected and trusted gastroenterologist. Patients’ Choice Award, Compassionate Doctor Recognition, and On-Time Doctor Award are just some of the acknowledgments that he has received in the many years he has served in his profession.

For this reason, Gastro in Florida wants to give back and help a student who is currently in need of financial support.
