Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Center at Stony Brook Medicine was created to provide individuals with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis the best possible multidisciplinary care available today. We aim to take care of patients from childhood to adulthood, from medical to surgical therapy, in a seamless, cohesive environment.

Director, IBD Center}

Since IBD can be associated with inflammation outside the bowel (extra intestinal manifestations) we have referral connections with many other specialists in the institution such as rheumatology, dermatology etc. to allow quick access to consultations.

In addition, Stony Brook University Hospital provides state-of-the-art imaging services, including CT enterography and MR enterography. Expert laboratory professionals and pathologists trained in gastrointestinal pathology are also part of the team.

We are committed to research that will lead to a cure and improve the lives of our patients. Members of the center are actively involved in clinical research and new drug trials in addition to hosting the yearly Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) walk for a cure.

Our educational mission is fulfilled by training, not only adult and pediatric fellows and surgical residents, but also by hosting educational programs for community healthcare providers.

Support Services

A Stony Brook Medicine, support groups under the auspices of the CCFA provides support and education. Patients may also avail of the Stony Brook mind and body center.

The nutrition division hosts small group sessions to answer the dietary needs of our patients.
