Seth Crockett, MD, MPH

I have always had a passion to care for individuals with multiple sclerosis and infections affecting the nervous system, providing continuity and comprehensive care to them, and learning from them. My combined training in neurology, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune conditions and infections affecting the brain places me in a unique position to provide comprehensive care to individuals with these conditions.

I see patients with a broad range of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and perform endoscopic procedures. My research interests are aimed at an end-goal of extending access to GI services to all populations in a rational and responsible manner. I have a particular interest in luminal cancer prevention, specifically for gastric and colorectal cancer, as well as esophageal disease. With regard to methodology, I have experience in observational epidemiologic studies, systematic reviews and meta-analysis, and studies of the gut microbiota. I also collaborate with researchers and clinicians from other institutions on investigations and endoscopic procedure outreach in Central America.

I became a doctor because I was very interested in the science of medicine and wanted to do something of benefit to others. I believe it is important to have good communication with the patient, understanding their goals and main concerns. I like a team approach with each patient and family. I am married with four children, which takes all my time. I do like to read (about 10 minutes before I fall asleep). I used to play outdoor sports and fish, but coaching my kids and their teams is the closest I get to sports now.
