 My name is Dr. Iman Andalip. I'm the Director of Advanced Gastroenterology at Hackensack Meridian Health in Central Region. I'm interested in swallowing disorders, barits esophagus, diseases and cancers of pancreas, liver, bile duct and colon. When a patient is referred to me, I take my time, I sit down with them, I answer all of their questions, I show them pictures of the procedures that I do so that they feel confident when they actually go on their procedures with me. A lot of patients would come to me and ask me if this procedure can be done without going under open surgery. And the answer is yes. I get excited to be able to explain to them that a lot of procedures that we do now, we can offer them a procedure that is minimally invasive when historically these patients had to go under high risk open surgeries with high complication rates. Now with advancement in endoscopic techniques, I can offer these patients minimally invasive procedures without actually cutting anything from outside.
