George Rateb

George Rateb, M.D., is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center, specializing in the Division of Digestive and Liver Diseases. His expertise includes advanced endoscopic procedures, gastrointestinal diseases, and hepatobiliary interventions. He focuses on innovative techniques such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided interventions, and the management of esophageal varices using Doppler probe methods. Dr. Rateb’s research spans endoscopic safety analyses, device-related complications, and the development of diagnostic tools for pancreatic cancer.

Research Interests: Dr. Rateb’s work emphasizes improving endoscopic techniques for gastrointestinal disorders, minimizing procedural risks, and enhancing diagnostic accuracy. His studies on Doppler probe methods aim to reduce post-procedural complications like delayed bleeding. He also investigates the efficacy of various stents and endoscopic approaches for biliary and pancreaticobiliary diseases. His collaborative efforts include analyzing large datasets (e.g., MAUDE database) to evaluate adverse events of endoscopic devices and procedures.
