About Benjamin Root, MD
Benjamin Root, MD, is board-certified in internal medicine and sees patients at Specialists in Gastroenterology in St. Louis, Missouri.
Dr. Root was born and raised in St. Louis and attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor for his undergraduate studies. He obtained his medical degree from Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before completing his internal medicine residency at New York University and his gastroenterology fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
Dr. Root cares for adults with a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders, with a particular emphasis on screening and surveillance of colorectal cancer, GERD/Barrett’s esophagus, functional GI disorders (including irritable bowel syndrome and function dyspepsia), and inflammatory bowel disease (including ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and a variety of liver diseases).

After 15 years away, Dr. Root returned home to his beloved St. Louis, Missouri, to grow his GI practice.

Reviews
The SIG staff is very concerned about your health and makes it a point to make sure that you get the best and fastest care possible. Everyone from the receptionist to the Physicians Assistant to the Physician is takes time to listen and really discuss whatever issues bother you. They are 100% involved in your care and the concern they show is admirable. I would suggest SIG to anyone with gastric issues.
Dr. Root is amazing. He was very thorough, and easy to talk to. The whole office was very nice. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Root.
The whole team at SIG was so helpful and friendly when I came in for my procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Root and SIG.
Dr.Root and his crew are amazing!!! They make you feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation(colonoscopy) and answer all your questions without rushing you! They are all true professionals. From the receptionists up front to the Dr. and staff in the back!
As before excellent Doctor and team took very good care of me. Made me feel at ease with the procedure.
