The book builds on the translational information on H pylori for ulcer disease as well as the explosive focus on biomic influence in virtually all areas of esophageal diseases. This important reference will help translational researchers by providing scientific understanding and hypothesis generation that is needed for furthering this field of study. It will also provide clinicians with disease management options for esophageal diseases (for GERD and PPI options/side effects) and present cutting-edge science to promote provider/patient understanding and options.
- Delivers a translational understanding of new paradigms for esophageal disease
- Explains the effects of microbiome balance in the esophagus
- Suggests potential treatment options of esophageal dysbiosis
Both basic science researchers and gastroenterologists, Primary care physicians dealing with GERD/esophageal disease

He served on the GI Multi-Society CRC Screening Task Force and ACG guidelines committee for CRC screening, and co-authored the national guidelines. He served on the American Board of Internal Medicine (Gastroenterology), Board of Examiners (2012-2017), and was reappointed to the Maintenance of Certification ABIM Board 2020-present. He has been honored with the highest award from the American College of Gastroenterology; the Berk/Fise Award for lifetime achievements, as well as the William D Carey ACG Governors award to lifetime contributions to gastroenterology. He is the physician who worked with Virginia State Senator Emily Couric to put through the historic legislation to mandate colon cancer screening with colonoscopy as the preferred standard. This initiative has set the model for other states which have followed with similar legislation.
