Vaishali Patel, MD

I believe the care I provide must be tailored to every patient’s unique needs and situation and rooted in evidence from medical literature and clinical guidelines. I am committed to building strong relationships with patients and providing compassionate and comprehensive care, as I would want for a loved one of my own.

I am a board-certified gastroenterologist specializing in advanced endoscopy at St Luke’s Health Network. I perform specialized therapeutic endoscopic procedures related to the biliary tract and pancreas, among other disorders. I completed my medical training at Harvard Medical School and my internal medicine residency and gastroenterology fellowship at Duke University. I pursued advanced endoscopy training at Emory University Hospital, where I was a faculty member and practicing gastroenterologist for eight years prior to joining the St. Luke’s family. With a focus on state-of-the-art techniques, I hope to improve patient outcomes through innovative procedures and personalized treatment plans.

Outside work, I love spending time with my kids, traveling, cooking and exploring new restaurants. I attended high school in the Parkland School District and have enjoyed re-discovering the Lehigh Valley with my family.
