Saif Bella, MD

I believe the best medicine begins with prevention, thoughtful listening and a strong partnership between physician and patient. My approach to care is rooted in taking the time to understand each patient’s concerns, carefully explaining their condition and working together to develop the most comprehensive and practical treatment plan tailored to their individual needs.

I am a general gastroenterologist at St. Luke’s University Health Network with a broad clinical interest in the evaluation and management of acute and chronic gastrointestinal conditions. My clinical passions include diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, innovation in endoscopic techniques and pancreatobiliary disease. I take pride in delivering high-quality, evidence-based care for a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders, from common digestive concerns to more complex conditions requiring advanced endoscopic intervention. Preventive care – particularly through appropriate screening and surveillance endoscopy – is a cornerstone of my practice, as I strongly believe early detection and proactive management can significantly improve long-term outcomes.

Outside of medicine, I am deeply committed to my family and enjoy staying active with my children. I am an avid soccer enthusiast and enjoy both playing and following the sport. I also love traveling with my family and exploring historical sites, which allows us to learn, stay active and create meaningful experiences together.
