Gastroenterologist Dr. Hamna Fahad has joined CalvertHealth Medical Group in Prince Frederick. She diagnoses and treats the full spectrum of GI conditions, from routine visits for heartburn and indigestion to colon cancer screenings. Dr. Fahad has a special interest in inflammatory bowel disease and liver disease. Dr. Fahad trained in internal medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, consistently ranked as one of the top three hospitals in the country. “While there, I was fortunate to learn from world-renowned specialists and published numerous research articles in the field of gastroenterology that furthered my interest in the specialty.” She went on to pursue a fellowship at Henry Ford Hospital in Michigan, one of the largest gastroenterology and hepatology tertiary care referral centers in the state. “This gave me the unique opportunity to treat some of the sickest patients and learn about some of the rarest diseases.” Dr. Fahad said, “I strongly believe in shared decision-making with my patients.” She went on to add, “When patients better understand their disease and why they are feeling a certain way, it promotes compliance and allows for better patient satisfaction.” She sees patients in Suite 101 of the Medical Office Building.
