Dr. Seifeldin Hakim is a board-certified specialist in gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition and is an advanced endoscopist. In addition to English, he speaks Arabic fluently. His primary clinical interests are pancreatic and biliary diseases. Dr. Hakim’s additional year of fellowship training gave him significant expertise in advanced procedures such as endoscopic ultrasounds and ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, a procedure that combines upper GI endoscopy and x-rays to treat problems of the bile and pancreatic ducts.)

Among the many conditions he treats, Dr. Carney's special interests are hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. Dr. Carney believes that patients who know and understand their condition are more successful in their treatment, so he takes the time to educate patients about how their illness affects their body and the rationale behind their treatment. He enjoys getting to know his patients and sees himself as an exceptional listener, calm, easy-going and understanding.

Dr. Patel treats patients ages newborns to 21 for sick visits as well as preventive medicine, such as immunizations and wellness checkups. His special interests include preventative medicine, including stress management, healthy eating and exercising.
