EnglishMy 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.

“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.”
