Becker's ASC Review names Siegel one of top 125 gastroenterologists in US
Corey A. Siegel, MD
Lebanon, NH—Becker's ASC Review recently listed Dartmouth-Hitchcock gastroenterologist Corey Siegel, MD, among the 125 leading practitioners and researchers in his field.
The top-125 designation from Becker's follows US News & World Report's listing of Siegel among the top 1 percent of gastroenterologists in the nation.
Siegel directs the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC), and is an assistant professor of medicine at Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) and an assistant professor of The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI). In his research he focuses on the tradeoffs between risks and benefits in treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and aims to improve the ways in which gastroenterologists communicate such information to patients. He conducts this research with support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA).
Siegel describes himself as "honored to be included on this list with physicians who have truly made a significant impact to the field of gastroenterology," and as "grateful to Dartmouth-Hitchcock for supporting the research and clinical care provided by our team at the IBD Center."
Siegel lectures nationally and internationally on IBD, and regularly publishes journal articles and book chapters related to his research and other topics in IBD. Dr. Siegel founded of the BRIDGe group, an international research collaborative of young IBD investigators. He co-chairs the CCFA Professional Education Committee, for which he has been instrumental in initiating the CCFA's quality improvement program. He is an associate editor for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, and serves on the international editorial board for Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics.
He earned his MD from the Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, completed a residency and a gastroenterology fellowship at DHMC, and did a fellowship in inflammatory bowel diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Becker's, a journal that features business, legal, and clinical guidance to ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), bases its choice of gastroenterologists for this list on their leadership in clinical and research efforts, and how they further the practice of gastroenterology with their work, knowledge, and dedication to the specialty. In addition to gastroenterology, the Review covers bariatrics, orthopedics/spine, neurosurgery, pain management, ophthalmology, ENT and anesthesiology. Each of the nine annual issues of the publication reaches more than 25,000 surgeons, medical directors, directors of surgery, ASC administrators and others involved in the field of outpatient surgery.
