Dr. Reema Lamba, MD

Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?

I love the procedural aspect of GI. I was an engineering major in college and have always enjoyed things that are more “hands-on.” I also like that it has a nice balance of both inpatient and outpatient work.

Do you have a specialty of interest within GI?

I really enjoyed working with inflammatory bowel disease patients while in fellowship and hope to carry that over while I am in practice.

Where did you study?

Undergrad: Duke University, Medical School: University of IL, Internal Medicine Residency: Medical College of Wisconsin, GI Fellowship: Baylor University Medical Center.

What certifications do you hold?

Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.

What do you and your family enjoy doing in your spare time?

I love traveling and try to leave the country and explore somewhere new any chance I get. I am also a big Chicago sports fan and am always up for watching a good football or baseball game.

Do you fluently speak any other languages in addition to English?

Hindi and Spanish.
