“My philosophy in practice is competence, compassion and communication. These three things result in confidence in what we do, assuring better care and successful outcomes for our patients”, states Dr. Jayanty.“I don’t practice defensive medicine: good medicine is the best defense. Optimal use of current innovations and judicious use of scientific knowledge, linked to a logical mind, gives superior outcomes and minimizes complications related to unnecessary tests and treatments of no or minimal proven clinical benefit”, he adds.

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.
Moreover, he remains an active member of the American Medical Association, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the Harris County Medical Society, and the Texas Society for Gastroenterology and Endoscopy.
