He then completed gastroenterology fellowship and the advanced endoscopy fellowship program at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Buscaglia joined the Department of Medicine faculty at Stony Brook University in 2008, where he is now Chief of the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
While at Stony Brook Medicine, Dr. Buscaglia has served as both Director of Endoscopy, and Director of Advanced Interventional Endoscopy. In 2012 he initiated Stony Brook University Hospital's first interventional endoscopy training program and inpatient consult service.
Dr. Buscaglia is past President of the New York Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (NYSGE), and has been recognized in New York Magazine and by Castle Connolly as one of the region's Top Doctors. He is a nationally recognized expert in the field of advanced endoscopy, and serves as the senior associate editor for the American Gastroenterological Association's (AGA) official clinical journal, Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. He has also been heavily involved in several national committees within the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE).
Within the field of GI endoscopy, Dr. Buscaglia specializes in pancreatic-biliary diseases and the management of GI tract neoplasia, such as Barrett's esophagus and advanced adenomas of the colon. He has conducted pioneering research in natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and more recently in the area of pancreatic cancer for which he has received external grant funding. His research interests continue to focus on personalized medicine in the management of pancreatic cancer.
It is with a great sense of pride and enthusiasm that we make this important announcement. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Buscaglia on his outstanding contributions to his division, our department and our institution. We are honored to have him as a faculty member in the Department of Medicine.
