Sandeep N Patel, D.O.

Associate Professor/Clinical

Director, Advanced Endoscopy Program

Medical Director, University Hospital Endoscopy

Dr. Sandeep Patel joined UT Health San Antonio as a faculty member in the gastroenterology division after receiving advanced training under internationally-recognized endoscopist Dr. Joseph Geenen of the Medical College of Wisconsin in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, a specialized form of gastrointestinal endoscopy used to diagnose and treat many different disorders of the pancreas and the bile ducts. Skilled in both ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound, Dr. Patel serves as chief of pancreato-biliary endoscopy at the medical school. Dr. Patel has rapidly established his practice as a regional referral center for complex pancreatic and biliary problems, instituting a new and rapidly growing pancreas clinic and successfully bringing state-of-the-art and cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic technologies to San Antonio, including pancreatic and biliary manometry and intra-ductal pancreatic and biliary endoscopy.

  • Research & Grants

    Pancreatioc-Biliary Medicine - Over the past five years and currently I have led a clinical
    research team whose focus has spanned interests in pancreatobiliary endoscopy,
    endoscopic training, applications of lasers in pancreatobiliary disease
    (especially difficult stone management), and animal studies of natural orifices
    transenteric surgery (NOTES), which is the current frontier area of endoscopic
    research. I have served as a resource and actively mentored GI fellows, medical
    students, and Internal Medicine residents in a variety ongoing research
    projects that have produced several publications and national presentations.
