Specialities:
GastroenterologyMy patient care philosophy is to connect with each patient on a level that enables me to provide the highest level of personalized treatment. Every patient is unique. I take the time to listen carefully, so I can thoroughly understand their condition and lifestyle. With this understanding, together, we create a tailored plan that best suits their needs.
I am a gastroenterologist at St Luke’s University Health Network. I joined St. Luke’s Gastroenterology after completing the St. Luke’s Gastroenterology Fellowship, a three-year program. I have a special interest in:
- Colon cancer screening
- Nutrition
- Liver disorders, including cirrhosis
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Treatment of Barrett’s esophagus
- Celiac disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
I am an active member of the American College of Gastroenterology, American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Pennsylvania Society of Gastroenterology. I have published and presented my research findings at national academic gastroenterology conferences. Teaching medical students, residents and fellows is a strong passion of mine.
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family, including my dogs. I enjoy hiking, playing basketball, cooking and traveling.

“I have small cell lung cancer. I start my treatment July 1st chemo and radiation. I did a test from Colorguard and there was blood in my stool. My doctor got me in for tomorrow b4 treatment. He was great and the staff was friendly. I believe it to be nothing but hemorrhoids, but we just want to be sure that's all It Is.”

“Dr Tayel is an amazing provider. He listens and truly takes into account everything you say. It is because of him I am no longer in pain on a daily basis as I had been, with the least drastic solution. He also cautions me to keep aware of any conditions that may need more treatment in the future. He creates an environment where I feel comfortable to talk about any issues I have, even if they don't directly relate to his specialty. And in that way he had enabled me to the get the help I needed towards my goal of getting healthier. I am much better, health wise, than I was just one year ago, and I plan on continuing on this path.”

“Was over the moon with how nice, helpful, and informative each and every person on the visit was. Every one was pleasant, patient, and I felt had a genuine concern for my comfortability. The only bad part was the long wait, about an hour and 25 minutes from the time I was in the bed with the gown on til I was brought to the room. That's a long time to be uncomfortable. However, Greta did try to make sure I was comfortable and brought me a warm blanket which was nice.”
