About Justin Kosirog, M.D.

Why Gastroenterology?

I have a family member with celiac disease which for first piqued my interest in the field of gastroenterology. From there, I grew to love all the different disease processes including IBD, liver pathology, and celiac disease to name a few. I also love performing endoscopy. I am also board certified in Emergency Medicine and have an interest in emergent procedures for GI bleeding, food bolus, sigmoid volvulus, etc.

What Can Patients Expect?

Patients can expect a physician who cares for the individual and who treats all individuals with respect and kindness and is thorough and diligent.
