Uzma Siddiqui, MD, is a gastroenterologist with expertise in interventional endoscopy. She is a Professor of Medicine and the Director of the Center for Endoscopic Research and Therapeutics (CERT). Her training includes fellowships in both gastroenterology and advanced endoscopy. Her practice focuses on specialized interventional endoscopy procedures, such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS),endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and advanced tissue resection within the gastrointestinal tract.
EUS is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and manage a wide range of gastrointestinal cancersand pre-cancerous lesions, including pancreatic tumors. Other therapeutic endoscopic procedures Dr. Siddiqui performs include endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with removal of stones and stenting of tumors to relieve obstruction in both the bile and pancreatic ducts, drainage of pancreatic cysts, nerve block for pain related to pancreatic cancer, ablation of Barrett's esophagus, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of large polyps or small tumors in the GI tract, and treatment of swallowing disorders such as Zenker’s diverticulum and achalasia with per oral endoscopy myotomy (POEM).
A dedicated educator and mentor, Dr. Siddiqui teaches techniques of therapeutic endoscopy in courses for gastroenterologists, trainees, and nurses around the country and internationally. She is also a prominent researcher, focusing on improving the various applications of advanced endoscopic techniques with >100 publications and chapters in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Siddiqui has received numerous honors over her career, including the 2019 Helio Woman Disruptor of the Year Award and the 2023 American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) Master Endoscopist Award.
