 Letter
From The Doctor
Welcome to my website.
I
have been in private practice since 1991, specializing in
gastrointestinal disorders. I am a Board Certified Internist
and Gastroenterologist.
As
an attending physician at St. Vincents Catholic Medical
Center located in Manhattan, New York, I hold a position as Assistant Professor
of Medicine at New York Medical College and I am the Director of Gastroesophageal Research
and Endosurgery. I am also an Attending in Gastroenterology
at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, New York. Additionally, I am affiliated with the Kips Bay Endoscopy
Center, a state-of-the-art endoscopic facility where most procedures are performed.
I
practice "old-fashioned" medicine combined with the latest of technology.
When you come to my office for an appointment,
you are seen by me personally and not a nurse or physician's assistant. My staff and I make every attempt to insure quality
and continuity
of care.
There
are two practice locations, 29 Washington Square West in
New York City and in Poughkeepsie, New York located
75
mile north
of
the metropolitan area in the beautiful Mid-Hudson Valley.
While my practice mainly serves the New York metropolitan
and surrounding tri-state
areas, I welcome patients from all over the globe. Accommodations
can be arranged in coordination with visits and testing.
Offices are equipped with state-of-the-art medical instruments
including video endoscopic equipment, breath
testing for
lactose intolerance and bacterial overgrowth, ambulatory
acid and nonacid reflux monitoring (Sleuth Impedance System)
for gastroesophageal reflux, infrared coagulation
for the nonsurgical treatment of hemorrhoids, as well
as colon cancer screening by colonoscopy.
While
While my primary interest is in reflux
disease (a.k.a. GERD, heartburn), I do manage a broad spectrum of gastrointestinal disorders. I offer nonsurgical, endoscopic
procedures to control reflux such as
the NDO Plicator and EndoCinch. Additionally, I offer the BARRX radiofrequency ablation therapy to
treat the premalignant condition of Barrett's Esophagus.The newer endoscopic, incisionless procedures are changing the
way we manage the chronic reflux patient that is not always controlled by the usual medicines. I also work
very hard to make the diagnosis of difficult to treat reflux as well as atypical reflux.
Should
you have any questions or wish to schedule a visit, feel
free to contact me.
Sincerely,
A.A. Starpoli, MD
