More about Dr. Jehangir Rao, MD

*PLEASE NOTE* I work with a billing company that accepts most major commercial insurances, but NOT HMO's, Medicare or Medicaid. Please DO NOT BOOK IF YOU HAVE MEDICARE/MEDICAID/HMO'S - Thank you! That frustration fueled my interest in the connection between gut health and one’s overall well-being. That’s how I became the first gastrointestinal doctor (GI) in the world to complete the training program at the Institute for Functional Medicine. It’s a holistic approach that considers the body as one system rather than different parts. While it’s common in Western Medicine to treat your gut issues in isolation, Functional Medicine recognizes it’s important not just to treat your gut but also to take care of your diet and stress levels because they all affect each other! With over 35 years of experience in the States as a gastroenterologist, I’ve seen it all. So many of the patients who came to me had been through multiple colonoscopies and endoscopies that turned out to be normal, but they were still feeling sick. They were sent home with instructions to take Metamucil. I’ve also been the physician of last resort after patients bounced from specialist to specialist with unresolved chronic issues. Some had even been told, “it’s all in your head” and sent home with a prescription. The truth is IBS and GERD are a headache for other physicians; it takes a lot of time, specialized knowledge, and patience. But I love it. My goal is to help my patients find relief from chronic stomach and bowel conditions through an integrative approach that includes diet, mind/body medicine, exercise, sleep hygiene, and even dealing with grief and loss.
