Arema Pereira, MD

My practice covers all areas of gastroenterology including heartburn and reflux, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, bloating, and colorectal cancer screening. I was inspired to go into medicine by my passion for helping others and the importance of health in people's lives. Outside of work, you can find me hanging out with my two Italian Greyhounds, reading, or planning my next trip to explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

I provide general gastroenterology care including EGDs and colonoscopies and have a special interest in high-risk cancer and esophageal disorders. I was inspired to go into medicine to have the opportunity and honor to help people with various ailments.

I treat individuals with a variety of conditions, including arthritis, tendinopathy, and nerve entrapments. Patient empowerment is a central tenet of my treatment approach, but when necessary, I can perform a variety of ultrasound-guided injection procedures. My inspiration to pursue a career in medicine came from a desire to help people make positive change in their lives and be an advocate in those pursuits.
