Kishore Vipperla, M.D., practices gastroenterology and has been in health care since 2002. Dr. Vipperla believes in treating you as one of his own family members. “Helping you understand the nature of your disease, the pros and cons of available treatment options and encouraging you to be proactive at every step of managing the disease are the keys to the best clinical outcome and greatest mutual satisfaction,” he said.
Dr. Vipperla is passionate about his work and confident in what he does. “Gastroenterology is an intellectually stimulating and rewarding field that requires the multifaceted skillset of an astute internist, an observant radiologist and a surgeon's dexterity,” he said.
Dr. Vipperla manages a wide range of general gastroenterological disorders for his patients. He specializes in advanced therapeutic endoscopy with a focus on diagnostic and interventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) for treating complex hepatic and pancreatobiliary diseases, Barrett's esophagus, removing large colon polyps and dilating and stenting esophageal and intestinal strictures.
Dr. Vipperla received a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery degree from Osmania Medical College in Hyderabad, India, in 2002. He completed an internship and residency at St. Luke’s University Hospital in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2009.

Dr Vipperla is the most understanding and truly concerned Dr I have ever known. At any time he was completely available to us while my husband was going through a rough and complicated medical issue. He is still under Dr V’s care. I would recommend him to everyone.

Seen Dr. Vipperla today 5/28/24. He's is awesome, very energetic and very positive attitude. ERCP/EUS procedure went great and the staff was awesome. I was very nervous going into the procedure but will feel in good hands in the future if I should need him again.
