I received my bachelor’s degree in biology at Haverford College in Haverford, PA and a master’s degree in biology at Harvard University in Boston, MA. I earned my medical degree at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ)-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey. After completing my internal medicine training at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, I returned to Philadelphia for my gastroenterology fellowship at Temple University Hospital.
My clinical interests are colon cancer prevention, capsule endoscopy and general gastroenterology.
Outside of work, I enjoy being with my family at musical events and eating different types of food in the Philadelphia region. I reside in the Ambler area with my wife and three children.

The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions from our nationally recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of St. Luke's University Health Network.

“I had scheduled a colonoscopy and had requested that an endoscopy be performed at the same time due to some recent issues with esophagus spasms at different times during meals. Dr. Kelberman was able to accommodate my request and fit me into the prescheduled colonoscopy procedure. Dr. Kelberman has always been very personable and very thorough in explaining what the procedure would entail. He is a great asset to St. Luke's.”

“One of the best experiences in a doctor's office ever”
March 5, 2025
“I saw Dr. Kelberman because of recurring pain about 3 inches to the left of my belly button. He reviewed my most recent tests and candidly stated that he didn't know exactly what the cause is. He ordered an MRI which I have scheduled already.He is caring and listens well. The only thing is I had to wait a long time in the patient room before seeing him.”

“Overall the experience was good with Ira Kelberman ,MD I am extremely anxious about my colonoscopy scheduled for 2/4/2025. I would have preferred a bit more of a projection on what I can expect and how serious my condition might be but I also understand the doctor can't say anything. However, this added to my anxiety. I also am waiting for a call from the nurse with clarification on me starting a fiber supplement which is in the doctor's notes.”
