Dr. Moamen Gabr is a board-certified gastroenterologist, recognized as a Fellow of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and an active member of both the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) and the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA). Currently an Associate Professor of Medicine and the Director of the Advanced Interventional Endoscopy Fellowship Program at the University of Cincinnati, Dr. Gabr brings specialized expertise in minimally invasive endoscopic techniques that provide alternatives to traditional surgery for complex gastrointestinal conditions. This expertise is relatively new to the Cincinnati area and available at only a limited number of institutions nationwide.

Dr. Gabr moved from Boston to join the University of Cincinnati, where he continues his dedication to advancing endoscopic care. While in Boston, he served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School as the Director of the Endoluminal Surgery Program and an Assistant Professor of Medicine. His skills include advanced procedures such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), endoscopic full-thickness resection (eFTR), and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), which enable the removal of early cancers and large colon polyps, often sparing patients from surgery and colon resections. He also has expertise in treating Barrett’s esophagus with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and in managing gallstones and complex pancreatic and biliary diseases through procedures like endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Additionally, Dr. Gabr provides minimally invasive treatments for swallowing disorders such as Zenker’s diverticulum and achalasia through per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM).

Known for his contributions to the field of endoscopy, Dr. Gabr has developed equipment that enhances procedural efficiency and safety, allowing patients to benefit from state-of-the-art care that reduces recovery time and improves quality of life. He has mentored numerous fellows and students globally, and he frequently speaks at national and international conferences, sharing his expertise and advancing the practice of gastroenterology worldwide.

Outside of work, Dr. Gabr enjoys hiking and kayaking with his wife and three children, as well as playing pickleball.
