He has also served on the Digital Surgery, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Committees for the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons as well as the co-inventor of a single port laparoscopic access tool used to promote less invasive GI surgeries.
Dr. Gatta earned his medical degree in Mumbai, India, before setting down roots in the United States.

Beyond the technological aspects of surgery, Dr. Gatta's areas of clinical focus include Oncology of the upper foregut (Esophageal & Gastric Cancer), the treatment of GERD, hiatal/paraesophageal hernia and Esophageal motility disorders such as Achalasia.
