    Q&A with Dr. Farah Monzur, MD

    Q: What made you decide to pursue your specialty?

    A: I love the variety of the patient population in GI. I have my patients with chronic illnesses as an IBD (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) specialist who I see regularly and I also have patients who I see every 5-10 years for their routine colonoscopies for colon cancer screening. Moreover, I value my conversations with patients, as shared decision making is important, especially with the plethora of IBD medications available. Lastly, I enjoy performing my patients' procedures, a skill that takes three years to learn. It is through these procedures that we can diagnose and even treat their disease.

    A: Patients can expect my team and I to try our best to help manage their gastrointestinal disorder. There are a lot of obstacles in IBD care, such as insurance, cost of therapy, compliance, and side effects of medications. Our team works tirelessly to help offset some of these issues and help patients with their disease.
