We are excited to welcome a new provider to our practice – Dr. Mahesh Gajendran! He will be practicing at our Northeast location.
Dr. Gajendran earned his medical degree in Chennai, India, and moved to the United States in 2007 to continue his medical training. He completed his Internal Medicine residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and later gained extensive experience in academic medicine at institutions such as UPMC and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso. He went on to complete his Gastroenterology fellowship at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio and also earned a Master of Public Health degree from the University of Pittsburgh.
As a clinician-scientist, his research has focused on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and functional bowel disorders, leading to presentations at national conferences, publications in peer-reviewed journals, and book chapters. His work has been recognized with the Steven Schenker Editor-in-Chief Award during fellowship and the Resident Research Award during residency.
Teaching and mentorship are among his greatest passions. Inspired by his own mentors, he has enjoyed guiding medical students and residents throughout their training and has had the privilege of serving as an Associate Program Director for the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Texas Tech University.
His clinical interests include colon cancer screening, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), liver disease, IBD, and functional bowel disorders. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and children, and he stays active through tennis, pickleball, hiking, biking, and traveling.
