Specialities:
GastroenterologyI am a full-time, clinical faculty member at St. Luke’s University Health Network. I earned my medical degree from Aga Khan University in Pakistan. I moved to the Lehigh Valley more than 3 years ago and since then have completed fellowship training in gastroenterology at St. Luke’s University Health Network and have decided to continue in my new role as a gastroenterologist at St. Luke’s afterward. I also specialize in liver disease/hepatology through fellowship training at Temple University Hospital, a liver transplant center in Philadelphia, PA and geriatric medicine at Indiana University in Indianapolis, IN. I am passionate about research to improve patient care and have published widely in reputed medical journals and presented research findings at national academic gastroenterology conferences. I love teaching medical students, residents and fellows.
I provide fellowship training and education in hepatology as well as general endoscopic procedures. My research interests include improving GI health care in the elderly populations, diagnosis and management of liver disease and quality improvement projects. I am an active member of the American College of Gastroenterology and American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. My clinical interests include colon cancer screening; liver disease (hepatology), including viral hepatitis and fatty liver; and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in all adult age groups as well as gastrointestinal disorders in the elderly (65 years and above) population.
I became a gastroenterologist because I enjoy the diverse and exciting nature of gastroenterology and hepatology practice, which involves caring for acutely sick, chronically unwell patients and performing endoscopic procedures. In my spare time, I enjoy travel, playing tennis, outdoor activities and spending time with family and friends.

“I trust this Hammad B Liaquat, MD and staff completely with my health care, in fact when no other of my specialist would listen to my concerns he did, took me seriously and ordered blood work that saved my life. Literally saved my life, with in 2 days of seeing this doctor, because I knew deep down something was very wrong with me, I was admitted to St Luke's Ostrum with a blood infection that went to my heart. When the aortic valve was removed the thoracic surgeon said it was so decayed, infected and necrotized that I could have died at any time. Yet after seeing and pleading with every one of my specialists I saw prior to Dr. Liaquat his simple blood culture order and the phone call from our beloved infectious disease doctor Jahre I am alive today. My deepest gratitude. I do hope someone really reads this. The man got the ball rolling in saving my life. GOD BLESS”
