Dr. Zarrin practices both Traditional Gastroenterology and Integrative Gastroenterology. Both practice ideologies complement each other. Integrative Gastroenterology bridges the gap left by Traditional Gastroenterology in the following ways:

• While Traditional Gastroenterology focuses on organic illness and pharmaceutical or procedural interventions, Integrative Gastroenterology focuses on holistic and sustainable solutions to functional imbalances.

• Sustainable, holistic lifestyle evaluations and interventions take time. Traditional Gastroenterologists are restricted by health insurance payment models in regards to the time they are allotted to spend with each patient.

• Cultivate Integrative Gastroenterology and Nutrition allows Dr. Zarrin the time he needs to deeply assess the root causes of a patient’s problems and formulate individualized holistic care plans.

Yes, Dr. Zarrin is a board certified Gastroenterologist who performs Upper Endoscopy and Colonoscopy.

Should you be unable to perform these tests with Dr. Zarrin due to proximity, you can have them performed by another Gastroenterologist and send your procedure reports and pathology reports to Dr. Zarrin via our secure portal.
