About Philip O. Katz, M.D.
I am pleased and excited to be a part of the ÈÕ±¾avÉ«ÇéƬ faculty as Director of Motility Laboratories for the Division of Gastroenterology at the Jay Monahan Center for Gastrointestinal Health. My clinical practice is devoted to caring for patients with esophageal disease such as complex swallowing and motility disorders, achalasia, refractory GERD, unexplained chest pain, eosinophilic esophagitis, Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer. My research interests include pharmacodynamics effects of proton pump inhibitors, optimal use of reflux monitoring, esophageal motility and Barrett’s esophagus. I am dedicated to providing excellent, responsive and comprehensive care for my patients and advancing research in esophageal disease.
Dr. Katz received his medical degree from Bowman Gray School of Medicine at Wake Forest University, where he completed his residency, chief residency and fellowship training. Dr. Katz also served as the GI program director and Interim Chair of the Department of Medicine at Albert Einstein Medical Center, Chief of Medicine at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia and Vice Chair of Medicine at John Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.
Dr. Katz has had a distinguished academic career as a clinician, educator and researcher. He’s a recognized national authority on esophageal disease. Dr. Katz’s research include all aspects of gastroesophageal reflux disease, including nocturnal recovery of gastric acid secretion during proton pump inhibitor therapy and esophageal pain perception.
He has served as President of the American College of Gastroenterology from 2009-2010 and was honored with the Berk-Fise Clinical Achievement Award in 2013, recognizing his contributions to the field over his distinguished career. He was instrumental in establishing and is currently Co-editor in Chief of the ACG Universe, the on-line learning portal of that organization.
