He believes in the value of a good education. It’s something his parents instilled in him at a very young age, and it drove him to pursue medicine. “My family and teachers guided me to choose a career that best suited my temperament. I am truly glad for what I do every day – providing care to those who need it.”

That same year, he attained board certification in gastroenterology through the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the digestive system and its disorders. A gastroenterologist is a physician who has extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the esophagus, stomach, small intestines, colon, liver, pancreas, and biliary system.

Happily married with four children, Dr. Naseer enjoys reading philosophy, traveling the country, listening to music, and playing golf.
